Tenants Didn't Raise Hazardous Violation Issue Before the DRA

The DRA granted landlord's MCI rent increase application based on adequate wiring. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant claimed that there were 10 open class "C" immediately hazardous violations on record with HPD. But only one tenant responded to the DRA's notice of landlord's MCI application, and that tenant didn't raise any issue concerning class "C" violations. So the DHCR couldn't consider this issue for the first time on appeal. In addition, tenant didn't submit a violation printout with his PAR.
