Scraping/Painting of Fire Escapes Doesn't Qualify

LVT Number: 16250

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the scraping/painting of the building's fire escape. The DRA ruled against landlord. Landlord appealed and lost. This work didn't qualify as an MCI. The DHCR's policy allows MCI rent increases only for the complete replacement of fire escapes, not for their repair.
