Synopsis
In this Article 78 proceeding, the tenant challenged a rent increase granted for a major capital improvement involving roof and facade repairs. The DHCR's determination was upheld as rational and not arbitrary or capricious. The court reaffirmed that administrative decisions must stand unless lacking sound reasoning or factual support. Judgment dismissed the tenant's petition, validating the rent increase for the landlord.
