One Facade Wall Pointed After Others

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on pointing and waterproofing. The DRA ruled against landlord. Landlord received a prior rent hike for pointing work in 2003, and the useful life of that pointing hadn't yet expired. Landlord appealed, claiming that the facade front wall was different from the other three walls previously pointed. The DHCR ruled against landlord. The work landlord did this time was piecemeal pointing and waterproofing. Landlord got a prior MCI rent hike based on finding that pointing for three sides was comprehensive. And the useful life of pointing is 15 years.
