Tenant Substantially Won

Synopsis

The landlord sought review of an $8,000 DHCR penalty for failure to repair a rent-stabilized apartment as directed. Despite the landlord's claim that the tenant refused access for repairs, the DHCR found the refusal not improper. The court ruled the penalty was neither disproportionate nor shocking, and it represented the minimum allowed under Rent Stabilization Code § 2526.2(c)(1). The landlord's petition was denied, and the case dismissed.
