Tenant-Installed Satellite Dish

LVT Number: 16014

Landlord of several Queens buildings complained to the DHCR that many tenants had installed television satellite dishes without landlord's consent. Landlord asked the DHCR if it could collect a rent hike for these tenant-installed satellite dishes. In an opinion letter, the DHCR stated that the Rent Stabilization Code didn't provide for any rent hike or surcharge based on tenant's legal installation of a satellite dish.
