No Rent Reduction for Music School Noise

September 30, 2009

LVT Number: #22185

Rent-stabilized tenant complained of a reduction in services. He complained that there was excessive noise coming from the music school next door to his apartment. The DRA ruled against tenant, finding that freedom from another tenant's noise wasn't a required service. Tenant appealed and lost. He claimed that landlord owned the music school. But landlord had made renovations to alleviate the claimed noise condition. And tenant submitted no proof that the noise condition violated any applicable law or regulation.
