Prior Minor Repiping Repairs No Bar to Increase

LVT Number: 15994

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on a building-wide plumbing/repiping and gas repiping installation. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenants appealed, claiming that pipes had been replaced 10 years earlier. The DHCR ruled against tenants. The prior repiping was merely minor repair work and didn't bar the MCI increase.
