Minor Fire Escape Repair Irrelevant

April 30, 1993

LVT Number: 6968

The DRA reduced tenant's rent based on a number of conditions. These included peeling paint and plaster on the ceiling of the bedroom, dirty public areas, light bulbs requiring replacement, and lack of trash removal. Landlord applied to restore the rent, stating that he'd repaired all conditions. The DRA granted landlord's application, and tenant appealed. Tenant claimed that a minor repair hadn't been completed on the fire escape window. The DHCR denied tenant's PAR. This item wasn't specified in the DRA's rent reduction order or in tenant's original complaint.
