Noise from Roof Area

LVT Number: 15608

Tenant complained of a reduction in services based on excessive noise coming from the building's roof. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced his rent. Landlord appealed, claiming that there was no roof fan as stated in the DRA's order and that any possible noise from the roof was minor. The DHCR ruled against landlord. It didn't matter what the source of the noise was. Tenant lived on the top floor, and an inspection confirmed there was excessive noise coming from the roof.
