First-Floor Tenant Must Pay Increase for Elevator Upgrade

LVT Number: 14572

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on elevator upgrading. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed, claiming that he shouldn't be charged for the MCI because he lived on the first floor and didn't use the elevator. The DHCR ruled against tenant. The elevator upgrade qualified as an MCI and benefited all tenants, either directly or indirectly.
