LVT Number: #22240

Landlord of White Plains building applied for MCI rent hikes based on the replacement of sidewalks, walkways, and curbs. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenants appealed and lost. They claimed that the work was merely cosmetic. But the Emergency Tenant Protection Regulations list resurfacing of the entire original area of a courtyard, driveway, or walkway within the property lines of a building or complex as a qualifying major capital improvement.
