Tenant Complained of Acrid Fumes

April 30, 1995

LVT Number: 9697

Tenant complained of a reduction in services. The DRA ruled for tenant based on a finding of acrid fumes permeating the apartment and minor space gaps between mouldings and floors throughout the apartment. The DRA ordered landlord to correct these conditions. Tenant didn't get a rent cut because she didn't request one. Landlord appealed. Tenant had complained of irritating fumes and drafts from the separated mouldings. There was no indication in the inspection report as to what caused the fumes and no finding that they were toxic.

Landlord claimed the fumes were from another tenant's cooking. The inspector also didn't state that the moulding gaps caused any drafts. The DHCR ruled for landlord and revoked the order finding service reductions.
