Garbage Allowed to Accumulate

Tenant complained of a reduction in building-wide services based on an accumulation of trash under the first-floor stairs. The DRA ruled for tenant. Landlord appealed and lost. An HPD violation report, and a DHCR inspection done shortly after the complaint was filed in 1998 showed that the condition existed. And a follow-up inspection showed that the same condition existed three years later.
