Replacement of Radiators Doesn't Qualify

July 31, 2001

LVT Number: 15148

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of radiators. The DRA ruled against landlord. Landlord appealed and lost. The DHCR's policy was that the building-wide replacement of radiators was normal repair and maintenance work and wasn't an MCI unless it was done in connection with repiping and/or a boiler installation. In this case, landlord had done the boiler installation two years before the radiator installations. So it didn't qualify as an MCI.
