Tenant Didn't Give Landlord Prior Notice of Complaints

January 1, 2006

LVT Number: 18589

Tenant complained of a reduction in building-wide services based on a number of conditions. The DRA ruled against tenant based on its inspector's finding that the main entry lighting and the mailbox were being maintained. Tenant appealed. He said that landlord didn't address the other conditions raised in his complaint. The DHCR ruled against tenant. As the DRA stated in its order, tenant didn't give landlord prior notice of the other conditions. The Rent Stabilization Code requires tenant to send landlord a letter between 10 and 60 days before filing his complaint.

As the DRA stated in its order, tenant didn't give landlord prior notice of the other conditions. The Rent Stabilization Code requires tenant to send landlord a letter between 10 and 60 days before filing his complaint. But the letter mentioned only the main entry lighting and the mailbox. So the DRA couldn't consider any other conditions mentioned in tenant's complaint, because tenant didn't give landlord prior notice.
