No Increase for Leaky Roof

LVT Number: 16317

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new roof. The DRA ruled against landlord. Tenants complained that the roof leaked in several top-floor apartments. Landlord appealed, claiming that it didn't get a sufficient chance to respond to tenants' claims. The DHCR ruled against landlord. Thirty-four tenants objected to the MCI rent hikes, and tenants submitted proof of the roof leaks. The DRA sent landlord a copy of tenants' objections, and landlord's response wasn't credible.
