Landlord Should Have Filed Application to Modify Services

Landlord applied for an MCI rent hike for upgrading the freight elevator. The DRA ruled against landlord. Landlord appealed and lost. The freight elevator upgrade involved the conversion of a manual operated elevator to an automatic elevator. Landlord should have first filed an application to modify services with the DHCR. Since no application was filed, the DRA properly denied landlord's MCI application.
