Landlord Corrected Enough Violations for MBR Increase

The DHCR granted landlord's application for MBR increases for 1988–1989. Tenant challenged those increases, claiming that a number of violations existed on the building's record. The DRA ruled against tenant, and tenant appealed. The DHCR again ruled against tenant. Landlord certified on time that it had cleared, corrected, or abated all rent-impairing violations and 80 percent of all other violations on record as of Jan. 1, 1987. Tenant claimed that there was a remaining violation for improper renting of commercial space in the building. But landlord had cleared a sufficient percentage of violations to qualify for MBR increases.
