Storage Space Can't Be Reduced

LVT Number: 9171

Landlord asked the DHCR if it could either reduce previously available storage space or charge tenants for using it. The building had gone co-op, but some units remained rent-stabilized. The DHCR said ''no'' because storage space had been a base date service. Co-ops must maintain required services for rent-regulated tenants, and can't give purchasing tenants priority when assigning storage space.
