Elevator Engineering Costs Included

LVT Number: 13482

Landlord applied for MCI rent increases based on an elevator installation. The DRA ruled for landlord in part, but disallowed any increase for elevator engineering costs. Landlord appealed, claiming that the engineering costs were directly related to the MCI. The DHCR ruled for landlord. Landlord's engineering costs were for inspection, drawing plans, and making specifications before the installation. These were necessary and customary related costs.
