Increase Granted for Handicap Ramp and Related Costs

Landlord applied to the DHCR for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a handicap ramp. The DRA ruled against landlord, and landlord appealed. Landlord built the ramp to comply with Local Law 58 of 1987. The law required this installation because a disabled tenant lived in the building. The DHCR ruled for landlord and approved the rent hike. MCI rent hikes are granted for installations done to comply with a law.
