Landlord Restored Elevator Service
LVT Number: #20474
(Decision submitted by James R. Marino of the Manhattan law firm of Kucker & Bruh, LLP, attorneys for the landlord.)
Tenants complained of a reduction in building-wide services. The DRA ruled for tenants, finding that an elevator wasn't working. Landlord later applied for rent restoration based on the restoration of services. The DHCR ruled for landlord. Tenants appealed, claiming that a second elevator still wasn't working. They said their initial complaint was that both elevators were malfunctioning. The DHCR ruled against tenants. The DRA's rent reduction order was based on an inspector's finding that only the first elevator wasn't working. Because service to that elevator had been restored, the DRA properly restored tenants' rents.
