Storage Space Eliminated
LVT Number: 15737
Tenant complained of a reduction in services based on elimination of tenant storage space. The DRA ruled against tenant, finding that this was a minor condition that didn't warrant a rent reduction. Tenant appealed and lost. The DRA's decision was based on DHCR policy, later set forth in the Rent Stabilization Code. And tenant didn't prove that landlord had provided storage bins within three years before tenant complained. Tenant's lease stated only that an area of the subbasement had been set aside for use as tenant storage space.
