Partial Parapet Replacement Doesn't Qualify as MCI
LVT Number: #27793
Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on parapet wall/lintel installation. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. Partial replacement of parapet walls doesn't qualify as an MCI unless done as a necessary and integral part of another qualifying MCI such as a roof or exterior restoration. Landlord's contract for the work stated that the parapet wall on the front of the building was being replaced, but only the cracks in the parapet wall at the rear apartment on the top floor were being repaired.
