No Offset for J-51 Tax Abatement Unrelated to MCI

The DRA granted landlord's application for MCI rent hikes and then temporarily reduced the MCI increases to offset a J-51 tax abatement landlord received relating to the MCI work. Landlord appealed, claiming that the J-51 benefit in question was unrelated to this MCI. The DHCR ruled for landlord, who documented that the J-51 tax abatement was related to a separate MCI.
