Later Base Date for Rooming House

July 31, 1997

LVT Number: 11682

(Decision submitted by Manhattan attorney Eileen O'Toole, who represented the landlord.) Tenant complained of a rent overcharge in 1984. The DRA ruled for tenant, and landlord appealed. The DRA had found that April 1, 1980, was the base date for determining a rent overcharge. Landlord claimed that the correct base date was June 4, 1981. The DHCR ruled for landlord. The building was a rooming house and a Class B multiple dwelling with fewer than 30 units. These buildings didn't become subject to rent stabilization until an amendment to the law became effective on June 4, 1981.
