Services Restored After DRA Order Issued

August 31, 2007

LVT Number: #19842

Tenant complained of a reduction in services based on several conditions. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced his rent after inspection showed that the oven door didn't stay closed, brown stains covered the entire bathroom ceiling, there was a crack around the bathroom ceiling fixture, the bathroom window was loose in its frame, and tenant's intercom wasn't working properly. Landlord appealed, claiming that the conditions had now been corrected. The DHCR ruled against landlord. Landlord never answered tenant's complaint.
