Unamended MCI Application Deemed Untimely by DHCR

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on a number of improvements, including roof installations. The DRA ruled for landlord in part but disallowed the roof installation costs because the work was completed more than two years before landlord applied for MCI rent hikes. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord initially filed its application on time, but the application was rejected by the DHCR because it was missing an updated tenant schedule and governmental approvals for an unrelated boiler item. The DRA gave landlord 60 days to complete the application. Landlord refiled within 60 days but still didn't include the DEP electrical sign-offs requested. So landlord didn't retain the original filing date and the portion of the MCI application for the roof installations became untimely.
