Noisy Boiler

Tenant complained of a decrease in services because too much noise was coming from the boiler and she could feel vibrations in her apartment. An inspection confirmed the condition. Landlord claimed that the installation of a new burner caused the vibration and that nothing could be done. The DRA reduced tenant's rent, and landlord appealed. Landlord claimed that the noise problem had been somewhat alleviated. Landlord also showed proof of payment to a boiler repair company to fix the vibration problem. The DHCR denied landlord's application. An inspection had showed that the condition existed and that landlord's repair efforts took place after the DRA's order was issued
