Replaced Windows Didn't Exhaust Useful Life

January 1, 1995

LVT Number: 9363

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes, based on the installation of new windows. The DRA denied landlord's application because the replaced windows were less than 25 years old, so they hadn't exhausted their useful life. Landlord appealed, arguing that it had misstated the age of the windows in its application, and that they were really 30 years old. Tenants claimed that the replaced windows were only 15 years old. The DHCR upheld the DRA's ruling. Landlord's claim about the age of the windows wasn't credible.
