Use Tax and Sales Tax Excluded from MCI Increase

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on elevator upgrading. The DRA ruled for landlord except that it disallowed the cost of use tax and sales tax. Tenant appealed, claiming that her room count was incorrect. The DHCR ruled against tenant because she hadn't raised the room count issue while landlord's application was pending before the DRA.
