Tenant's Belongings Damaged During Weatherproofing
LVT Number: 16615
Tenant complained of a reduction in services. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced her rent. An inspection had shown that there was an improperly installed terrace door. Tenant appealed, claiming that several of the defective conditions weren't included in the order directing restoration of services. Tenant's personal belongings had been damaged during building weatherproofing. The DHCR ruled against tenant. The replacement of tenant's outdoor plants and the cleaning of tenant's indoor carpeting and furniture weren't required services, and landlord's failure to perform these services wasn't the basis for a rent reduction. If tenant wanted relief from landlord, she must start a court case.
