Removal of Violations Not Needed

The DRA reduced tenant's rent based on landlord not maintaining services. Landlord later applied for rent restoration, claiming that the two services in question had been restored. The DRA ruled for landlord, and tenant appealed, claiming that the records of the village of Great Neck still listed some of the service violations on which tenant's complaint was based. The DHCR ruled against tenant. DHCR inspection showed, and tenant agreed, that landlord had restored the two services that the DRA found to be lacking. The DRA's decision was based on its own inspection and isn't based on the village's removal of violations.
