Application for Boiler/Burner Not Filed on Time

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a boiler/burner. The DRA ruled against landlord because landlord's application wasn't filed within two years of the installation. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord's own documents showed that the boiler/burner installation was completed by a date that was more than two years before landlord filed its MCI application. This is the date used to measure whether the application was on time, not the date on which government inspections of the boiler/burner were completed.
