Removed Clothesline Was Minor Condition

LVT Number: #22223

Rent-stabilized tenant complained of a reduction in services. She claimed that landlord removed a functioning clothesline that was previously provided to all tenants in the building. The DRA dismissed the complaint. Tenant appealed and lost. Rent Stabilization Code Section 2523.4(e) lists the removal of a clothesline as a de minimis, or minor, condition that didn't warrant any rent reduction. This was so whether or not landlord provided clothes dryers.
