Rewiring Done in Piecemeal Manner

LVT Number: 11508

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on a number of improvements. The DRA ruled for landlord in part, but denied any rent increase for rewiring. Landlord appealed and lost. The rewiring work was done in a piecemeal manner, starting in December 1984. Circuit breakers were installed in February 1987, and outlets and switches were installed in May 1989. There was no indication that a building-wide installation was intended or even contemplated at any given time or under any one contract.
