MCI Rent Hike Granted After "C" Violations Cleared

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on installation of a new roof. The DRA ruled against landlord because there were hazardous "C" violations on record with HPD for the building. Landlord appealed and won. Landlord showed that all of the C violations on record when its MCI application was filed had been removed from HPD's database. One tenant had complained of water penetration through the roof. This was verified by the DHCR inspection, but landlord was given the chance to make repairs and had done so. Since landlord now showed that all C violations were cleared, including a lead paint violation, as of Nov. 19, 2012, the MCI rent hikes were approved effective Dec. 1, 2012.
