Worn Enamel on Bathtub

LVT Number: 12183

Tenant complained of a reduction in services, claiming that the bathtub enamel was worn. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced his rent. Landlord appealed, claiming that this was a minor condition that didn't warrant a rent reduction. The DHCR ruled against landlord. An inspection had shown that there was a large area of worn enamel on the bathtub and a small area of rusted stains. This wasn't a minor condition.
