Elevator Doesn't Stop on Nonresidential Floor

Third-floor rent-stabilized tenant complained of a reduction in building-wide services. He claimed that the building's elevator didn't stop on the second floor. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced his rent. Landlord appealed and won. The elevator didn't stop on the second floor because that floor was leased to the YMCA. Tenants didn't have, and didn't require, access to this floor. The rent reduction was revoked. This wasn't a failure by landlord to provide required services to tenant.
