Gas Pipe Installation Caused Reduction in Tenant's Living Room Space
LVT Number: #31258
Rent-stabilized tenant complained that installation of gas piping in her living room reduced required services because the installation was done in an unworkmanlike manner and reduced her total apartment space. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced her rent. Landlord appealed and lost. DHCR inspection showed that the cooking gas pipe was installed on the wall in the living room, next to the kitchen, and thereby reduced the living room space by an area of 20 x 5/12 square foot. This also obstructed the living room area. The work effectively reduced the space of the living room.
