Con Ed Shut Off Gas Line

Tenants complained of a reduction in services based on cooking gas shutoff. The DRA ruled for tenants and reduced their rents. Landlord appealed, claiming that Con Ed had shut off the gas to tenants' apartments temporarily, but that it had been restored on July 27, 2004. The DHCR ruled against landlord. An inspection showed that on July 9, the gas was shut off. So the DRA properly reduced tenants' rents.
