Plexiglas Kitchen Ceiling

Tenant of a luxury rent-stabilized apartment complained of a rent overcharge. Landlord claimed a number of improvements were made to the apartment, warranting a rent increase. The DRA ruled for tenant, and landlord appealed. Among other things, landlord claimed it should get a rent increase for installing a suspended frosted Plexiglas kitchen ceiling. The DHCR ruled for landlord. No such ceiling existed in the apartment before.
