DHCR Didn't Verify Income of Both Household Members

September 23, 2014

LVT Number: #25740

Landlord applied in 2011 for high-rent/high-income deregulation of tenant's rent-stabilized apartment. The DRA ruled against landlord and dismissed the application. Landlord appealed, and the case was reopened. Tenants admitted that there were two household occupants in the apartment. But the DRA asked DTF for income verification for only one of the tenants. The DRA's finding that tenants' annual household income was under $175,000 for 2009 and 2010 was therefore based on error. The DRA must resubmit an income verification request to DTF for both tenants.
