MCI Increase Granted Since "C" Violations Cured

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on elevator modernization. The DRA ruled for landlord and increased tenant's rents. Tenants appealed and lost. Tenants claimed that, while the MCI application was pending, HPD issued violations, including four Class "C" immediately hazardous violations. But landlord submitted sufficient proof, including tenant sign-offs, confirming that each of the "C" violations was corrected prior to the issuance of the DRA's order.
