Tenant Didn't Prove New Burner Failed to Provide Heat and Hot Water

The DRA granted landlord's application for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new burner. Tenant appealed and lost. She claimed that there was no heat or hot water at the building in January 2018, when the MCI rent increase order was granted. But tenant didn't file a service reduction complaint, DOB signed off on the burner in July 2016, and landlord's contractor submitted a sworn statement in response to tenant's PAR stating that it had serviced the new boiler/burner and that it was functioning properly.
