No Proof of Defective Pointing and Waterproofing

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on pointing and waterproofing, a new roof, and sidewalk shed work. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed, claiming that the pointing and waterproofing were done incorrectly. As a result, her bedroom wall was flooded after a heavy rain in April 2007. Landlord fixed the wall, but reimbursed tenant only $500. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Landlord submitted sufficient proof of the MCI work performed. And tenant submitted no proof that the problem in her apartment was related to the pointing and waterproofing work.
