Defective Floor Tiles

LVT Number: 16413

Tenant complained of a reduction in services based on gapping floor tiles in his apartment. The DRA ruled for tenant. Landlord appealed, claiming that this was a minor condition that didn't warrant a rent reduction. The DHCR ruled against landlord. An inspection showed that many tiles on the bedroom floors were squeaking and separating, with gaps between the tiles.
