Synopsis
In this Article 78 proceeding, the court reversed a Supreme Court decision that had annulled DHCR's approval of the landlord's applications for rent increases based on Major Capital Improvements (MCIs). The court found that DHCR's interpretation of its own regulations concerning the timeliness of the MCI applications for large-scale projects and the sufficiency of proof that the work was both necessary and comprehensive was rational and entitled to judicial deference. The court upheld DHCR's determination, thereby allowing the landlord to proceed with the rent increases.
