Rent Hike Granted for Hallway Carpeting Replacement

LVT Number: #25568

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of building hallway carpeting. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenants appealed and lost. Tenants claimed that pre-existing hallway carpeting hadn't outlived its useful life. But the DHCR had granted no prior MCI rent hike for hallway carpeting at the building. So the useful life of the old carpeting didn't matter.
