Leaky Roof

January 1, 2005

LVT Number: 17797

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new roof. The DRA ruled against landlord because an inspection showed that there were leaks from the roof into various apartments. Landlord appealed, claiming that any water stains found were near windows, that they were not coming from roof leaks, and that top floor tenants said there were no leaks. The DHCR ruled against landlord. A DHCR inspection two years after the roof installation showed leaks in six out of 10 top-floor apartments. The DRA correctly denied landlord's MCI application.
