Rewiring Installation Done in Two Phases

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on electrical rewiring. The DRA ruled for landlord in part. The DRA disallowed costs of related work that was done some time after the MCI installation. Landlord appealed, claiming that the work was done in two phases over a one-year period because of landlord's financial limitations. The DHCR ruled for landlord. The work was all done by one contractor, and landlord sufficiently explained the delay.
