Landlord Met Violation Certification Requirements

(Decision submitted by James R. Marino of the Manhattan law firm of Kucker & Bruh, LLP, attorneys for the landlord.) Landlord applied for 1996-1997 MBR increases. The DRA granted the increases and tenants appealed. They claimed that the building had too many violations to be eligible for MBR increases. The DHCR ruled against tenants. Landlord proved that it met the violation certification requirements. Landlord had filed the violation certification before June 30, 1995. HPD inspections conducted in 1996 verified that violation corrections were properly certified.
