Tenant Not Available for DHCR Inspection

(Decision submitted by Pamela A. Koplik of the Manhattan law firm of Rosenberg & Estis, attorneys for the landlord.) Hotel-stabilized tenant complained of a reduction in services. The DRA ruled against tenant based on her failure to keep an inspection appointment. Tenant appealed, claiming that she was home all day on the inspection date. The DHCR ruled against tenant. The inspector's report stated that the hotel clerk telephoned tenant's room, but that there was no answer. So the inspector wasn't allowed up to tenant's apartment. The inspector also left a message for tenant in the hotel's computer system.
