Cost of New Gutters and Skylight Included

Landlord applied for an MCI rent hike for resurfacing the roof, and installing new gutters and a new skylight. The DRA disallowed the application because the new roof wasn't 3-ply construction. Landlord appealed, claiming that the roof resurfacing, along with new gutters and skylight, qualified for an increase. The DHCR ruled for landlord. The 3-ply rule went into effect after the roof work was completed, so landlord's roof installation qualified for the increase. Also, since the gutter and skylight installations were completed during the roof resurfacing job, their cost could be included as part of the MCI increase.
