DHCR Inspection Showed Elevators Were Working Properly

November 20, 2015

LVT Number: #26609

Tenant complained of a reduction in building-wide services based on elevator service problems. The DRA ruled against tenant, finding no reduction in services. Tenant appealed and lost. The DHCR’s one-time inspection of the three elevators, which found that they were working properly, was sufficient since more detailed inspection was the responsibility of DOB. Intermittent service interruptions claimed by tenant were not by themselves sufficient to find a reduction in services.

Intermittent service interruptions claimed by tenant were not by themselves sufficient to find a reduction in services. And tenant’s claim that DOB records supported her claim wasn’t sufficient evidence of a service reduction in light of the DHCR’s inspection.
