Partial Concrete Resurfacing Didn't Qualify as MCI

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on concrete resurfacing and a new roof. The DRA ruled for landlord in part but disallowed any increase for the concrete resurfacing work. Backyard drywall construction to seal basement leaks and reinstalling a restaurant air conditioner wasn't MCI-eligible work. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord's contract for the work didn't indicate that the work involved resurfacing of the entire original area within the property lines of the premises. So it didn't qualify as an MCI.
