Landlord Didn't Install Circuit Breaker Panels in Each Apartment

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on building-wide rewiring. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. The DOB sign-off obtained by landlord showed that the electrical work hadn't been performed building-wide. The sign-off stated that only six circuit breaker panels were installed. But the building contained 10 apartments. The fact that the contract called for the installation of the panels in each apartment didn't support landlord's claim. The DRA's ruling was based on proof of work that actually had been completed.
