Parking Spaces Eliminated

June 30, 2005

LVT Number: 18215

Tenant complained of a reduction in services based on landlord's elimination of parking spaces. The DRA ruled against tenant. The condition was presumptively minor because more than four years had passed between the alleged change of conditions and the filing of tenant's complaint. Tenant appealed, claiming that this wasn't a minor condition and that the number of available parking spaces had gradually been reduced. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Tenant stated in her complaint that landlord began reducing the number of parking spaces in August 1999 and continued in June 2000.

Tenant stated in her complaint that landlord began reducing the number of parking spaces in August 1999 and continued in June 2000. This was more than four years before tenant filed her complaint. So the DRA properly found that the decrease in parking was presumptively minor under the Rent Stabilization Code.
