Security Guard Service Was Temporary

LVT Number: 11331

(Decision submitted by Benjamin Binder of the Manhattan law firm of Shaw & Binder, attorneys for the landlord.) Tenants complained of a reduction in building-wide services. They claimed that landlord had eliminated uniformed security guard services. The DRA ruled for tenants. Landlord appealed, arguing that the security guard service was temporary. Guards were hired at various times as a short-term, emergency measure, in response to criminal activity at the building and without charge to tenants. The DHCR ruled for landlord.
