Waterproofing Work Didn't Qualify as MCI

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on pointing and waterproofing work. The DRA ruled against landlord. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord failed to show that it intended at the outset to perform a unified and consecutively timed installation. The work done was mere repairs. Landlord did exterior masonry work in January 2000. Landlord did elevator bulkhead work in March 2000. Landlord installed coping coverse on the rear and front yard walls in December 1999, and cleaned the front facade in August 1999. There was no mention of repointing work in any of the invoices landlord submitted as proof of the work performed.
