No MCI Increase for Veneer Panel Replacement

LVT Number: #25745

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new roof and front veneer panels. The DRA ruled for landlord in part, granting an increase only for the roof. Landlord appealed and lost. The installation of veneer panels onto parapet walls of the sub-roof/second-story roof didn't qualify as an MCI in and of itself. It was cosmetic work and ordinary maintenance. The work also wasn't directly related to the roof MCI. And since landlord didn't completely replace the parapets on the main roof and sub-roof, the work wasn't related to a parapet MCI.
