Increase Granted for Gas Repiping and Asbestos Removal

LVT Number: 16130

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on gas repiping and asbestos removal. The DRA ruled for landlord, and tenants appealed. They claimed that landlord had been compensated for the work by insurance, Con Edison, or the city and shouldn't be allowed to increase rents. The DHCR ruled against tenants. Tenants didn't raise any complaint in response to landlord's application. And there was no claim that the work was defective.
