Ceiling Needs to Be Painted

LVT Number: 18781

Tenant complained of a reduction of services in his apartment. The DRA ruled for tenant, reduced her rent, and ordered landlord to paint a bedroom ceiling. An inspection showed that the ceiling in the middle bedroom wasn't being maintained. Landlord appealed, claiming that tenant didn't complain that the ceiling needed painting. The DHCR ruled against landlord. Tenant's complaint stated that the middle bedroom was infested with mold and hadn't been painted. The ceiling was part of the room and was found to need painting. This was covered by tenant's complaint.
