Doorman Service Discontinued 16 Years Earlier

(Decision submitted by Martin J. Heistein of the Manhattan law firm of Belkin Burden Wenig & Goldman, LLP, attorneys for the landlord.) Tenants complained of reduced services based on discontinuance of doorman service. The DRA ruled for tenants and reduced their rents. Landlord appealed and won. Any doorman service had been discontinued 16 years before tenants complained about it. And the service in question was informally provided by one employee who did this in addition to his other duties. So the service was minor and didn't have to be restored.
