Tenants Were Properly Notified of Landlord's Application

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on a number of installations. The DRA granted landlord's application, and tenants appealed. Tenants claimed that they shouldn't have to pay retroactive rent increases because they weren't given notice that the MCIs would subject them to rent increases. The DHCR denied tenants' PAR. At the time landlord's MCI application was pending, landlord was required to serve tenants with copies of the completed application and response forms. Landlord did so and left an additional copy of the application with the building superintendent for tenants' review.
