Landlord Got Government Sign-Offs for Elevator and Boiler/Burner

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on a number of improvements. The DRA ruled for landlord and granted MCI rent hikes for an intercom, service entrance door, boiler/burner, elevator upgrading, water tank, scaffolding, exterior restoration, and consultant fees. Tenants appealed. Among other things, they claimed that the elevator and boiler/burner work wasn't done properly. The DHCR ruled against tenants. Landlord submitted the required governmental approvals and sign-offs indicating that the elevator and boiler/burner work were properly performed. The DRA reasonably relied on these documents to approve landlord's application.
