Access to Basement Provided on Demand

July 31, 1995

LVT Number: 9938

Tenant complained of a reduction in building-wide services, claiming that landlord didn't provide tenants with access to the building's basement. The DRA ruled for tenant and ordered landlord to provide access. Landlord appealed, claiming there was no need for tenants to be in the basement. The superintendent lived in the building and provided access on demand. Landlord was concerned about the safety of the heating plant. The DHCR ruled for landlord and revoked the order. Direct individual access to the basement wasn't a required service.
