Gas Service Restored by Time of DHCR Inspection

September 28, 2016

LVT Number: #27216

Rent-stabilized tenant complained of a reduction in services, claiming that she had no use of the stove and oven in her apartment because there was no gas service. The DRA ruled against tenant, after inspection found that they were working. Tenant appealed and lost. Landlord, who owned tenant’s cooperative apartment, had stated that Con Edison temporarily shut down gas service to the entire building. During that month, landlord gave tenant a 15 percent rent abatement. And, by the time the DHCR inspected the apartment, gas service had been restored.
