Landlord Submitted Certificate of Electrical Inspection During Appeal

(Decision submitted by Beth Cohen of the Manhattan law firm of Rosenberg & Estis, P.C., attorneys for the landlord.) Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new boiler/burner. The DRA ruled against landlord because landlord didn't submit a New York City Certificate of Electrical Inspection after being repeatedly requested to do so. Landlord appealed and won. Landlord had asked the City for the inspection certificate but the City didn't issue it until 49 days after the DRA's order was issued. Landlord submitted a copy of the certificate to the DHCR while its PAR was pending. And landlord otherwise proved that it had done the work and documented the cost.
