Pointing Work Doesn't Qualify

LVT Number: 14434

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new roof and pointing work. The DRA ruled for landlord in part, granting a rent increase for the roof, but denying one for the pointing work. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord didn't submit a contractor's statement indicating that all exposed sides of the building were examined and that pointing was done as needed. Pointing work, by itself, doesn't qualify as an MCI.

Pointing work, by itself, doesn't qualify as an MCI. Landlord didn't show that the pointing was related to the roof installation and, in general, pointing work doesn't have any relationship to roof installation.
