LVT Number: 19171

Landlord sought high-rent/high-income deregulation of tenant's apartment. The DRA ruled for landlord based on tenant's failure to answer the notice of landlord's application. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant claimed that he answered the notice within 60 days of receipt, but he presented no proof of delivery. The DHCR's notice specifically advised tenant to keep a date-stamped copy, certified mail receipt, or certificate of mailing of his answer.
