Winner
Tenants Substantially Won
Synopsis
The DHCR affirmed the Rent Administrator's order granting a permanent rent reduction of $50 per month due to the landlord's modification of the lobby area, which reduced the available space and constituted a decrease in required services. This case highlights that tenants are entitled to a rent reduction for the loss of required services and that the DHCR has the authority to determine the appropriate amount of reduction on a case-by-case basis.
