MCI Increase Granted for Building-Wide Floor Tiles and Carpeting

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on building-wide floor tiles and carpet installation. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and won in part. The DRA had denied the MCI increase based on a rent reduction order that was in place when landlord's application was filed. Although it was a building-wide rent reduction order, it involved a leak above one garage space only. The rent also had now been restored. The DHCR granted the MCI rent increases but delayed the effective date to the first rent payment date after the rents were restored.
