Video Intercom System Qualifies
LVT Number: 15227
Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a video intercom system. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenants appealed, claiming that they shouldn't have to pay for the audio portion of the new video intercom system because they already had a functional audio intercom. The DHCR ruled against tenants. The building's prior audio intercom was over 25 years old. The useful life of an intercom is deemed to be 15 years. So landlord's new intercom qualified for an MCI rent increase.
