DHCR to Decide if Garden Was Required Service

April 1, 1998

LVT Number: 12264

Tenant sued landlord for interfering with tenant's access to a garden and the light and air above it. The court ruled against tenant, and tenant appealed and lost. Tenant already had a complaint pending with the DHCR for reduction of required services based on loss of the garden and the light and air. So the DHCR should decide this issue.
