Superintendent Service Provided

Tenant complained of a reduction in services because there was no longer a 24-hour superintendent in the building, and the telephone numbers provided by the nonresident owner were his own business and home telephone numbers. The DRA ruled against tenant, and tenant appealed and lost. The DRA's inspection had confirmed that landlord still provided sufficient building maintenance. Landlord stated that superintendent service was provided. As to the phone numbers, landlord stated that he was located one block from the building, and that the occupant of one of the building's apartments was also available to assist tenants. Notably, five tenants had withdrawn from the complaint while it was still pending before the DHCR.
