Rent Cut Applies to More Tenants

April 1, 1993

LVT Number: 6884

Tenants in an hotel-stabilized building complained that landlord didn't provide customary hotel services. The CAB reduced tenants' rents in 1984. Fifteen additional tenants later asked the DHCR for these rent cuts. These tenants had previously attempted to file service complaints against landlord, but the CAB had wrongfully refused to consider their complaints. The DHCR ruled that these 15 tenants were eligible for the rent cuts, and landlord appealed. The court dismissed landlord's petition.

The DHCR properly extended the order to include these tenants because the CAB wrongfully refused to consider their claims.
