Inspection Report Didn't Specify Number of Intercoms Checked

Tenants complained of reduced services building-wide based on defects in the intercom system. Landlord appealed, claiming that the intercom system worked properly. Landlord claimed that the inspection report was vague, and the DHCR agreed. The inspection report didn't indicate how many tenants' intercoms were spot-checked, so the DHCR couldn't determine how extensive the problems were. The inspection report also didn't state that a system-wide defect existed that would warrant rent cuts for all tenants. So, the rent cuts for this condition were revoked.
