Synopsis
The tenant alleged that the landlord overcharged rent by claiming false Individual Apartment Improvements (IAIs). The DHCR investigated and found that the landlord's claims were justified. The tenant challenged the DHCR's determination in court. The court upheld the DHCR's decision, finding that it was reasonable and not arbitrary and capricious. The court also denied the tenant's motion for default judgment against DHCR.
