Removal of Old Adhesive Tiles and Sanding of Floor

LVT Number: 16673

Tenant filed a fair market rent appeal. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced the first stabilized rent charged by landlord. In calculating the fair market rent, the DRA disallowed the cost of certain apartment improvements claimed by landlord. Landlord appealed and lost. Removal of old adhesive bathroom tiles and sanding down the floors was ordinary repair and maintenance work, not an apartment improvement.
