Tenant Didn't Submit Answer to Deregulation Application

August 31, 1996

LVT Number: 10889

(Decision submitted by Jeffrey Turkel of the Manhattan law firm of Rosenberg & Estis, P.C., attorneys for the landlord.) Landlord applied for high-rent/high-income deregulation of tenant's rent-stabilized apartment. The DRA ruled for landlord because tenant didn't respond to the application. Tenant appealed, claiming that he had mailed in the required answer and verification of household income. The DHCR ruled against tenant. The DRA's records contained no tenant answer.

Tenant submitted no proof of mailing, but only a sworn statement by his office manager that the answer had been mailed. This wasn't sufficient proof.
