Landlord Took Away Tenant's Garage Parking Space

Rent-stabilized tenant complained of a reduction in services based on landlord's unilateral termination of tenant's access to an assigned garage parking space. Tenant had occupied the parking space for 25 years. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced his rent. Landlord appealed and lost. There was no proof that landlord had filed an application to reduce or modify required services. Landlord failed to maintain required services by removing tenant's parking space.
