When Landlord Can Include Architect's Fees
LVT Number: 17439
Landlord asked the DHCR when architect's fees could be collected as part of a 1/40th rent increase for individual apartment improvements. In an opinion letter, the DHCR said that these fees were collectible as part of the 1/40th cost when they were directly related to an individual improvement. Architectural fees for expediting services, on the other hand, could not be included. In addition, if there is a common interest between landlord and its contractor, architect's fees could be disallowed.
