MCI Increase Granted for CCTV Security Camera System

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on rewiring and installation of a security camera system. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenants appealed and lost. They claimed that the security camera system was landlord's responsibility and that they shouldn't be charged for it. They also claimed that the system wasn't working and that the submitted cost was excessive. But DHCR inspection confirmed that the CCTV system was operational. And landlord submitted proof of its claimed costs. Tenants also didn't raise their claims before the DRA, so they couldn't be considered on appeal.
