Vacancy Improvements Bring Rent to over $2,000

August 31, 2001

LVT Number: 15268

Tenant complained of a rent overcharge. The DRA ruled against tenant, finding that the apartment wasn't rent stabilized. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant moved into the apartment after June 19, 1997. Landlord made improvements to the apartment before tenant moved in that brought the rent up to over $2,000 per month. So under the high-rent/high-income deregulation provisions of the Rent Stabilization Law, the apartment was exempt from regulation.
