Masonry Work

February 1, 2006

LVT Number: 18620

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on exterior masonry work. The DRA ruled for landlord. Some tenants appealed, claiming that no invoices were submitted to the DHCR for the masonry work, that the contractor had no permits, and that the masonry work was required because landlord hadn't done regular building maintenance. The DHCR ruled against tenants. Landlord submitted copies of the contract, contractor's statements, and cancelled checks showing that the work was done properly. Landlord wasn't required to submit permits or DOB approvals to the DHCR.

Landlord wasn't required to submit permits or DOB approvals to the DHCR. And it didn't matter if the work was done to correct defective conditions. Tenants didn't claim that the work wasn't done or that it was done in an unworkmanlike manner.
