Tenants Didn't Join Appeal on Time

February 1, 1994

LVT Number: 8530

Landlord applied for MCI rent increases, based on a number of improvements. The DRA ruled for landlord, and tenant appealed. Tenant claimed there were defects in the work done. Tenant also later amended her PAR by adding the signatures of 13 more tenants. Tenant claimed she was the tenants' representative. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Tenant didn't submit proper written authorization that she was a representative of the tenants' association. She merely submitted a ``list'' of signatures of tenants belonging to the building's tenant association.

The list of signatures also wasn't delivered until after the 35-day filing deadline for the PAR. So, an appeal on their behalf couldn't be considered.
