Synopsis
The Appellate Division reversed a Supreme Court decision, upholding DHCR's approval of Major Capital Improvement (MCI) rent increases. The court found DHCR rationally interpreted its timeliness regulations, confirming applications were filed within two years of complex-wide work completion. Furthermore, DHCR's determinations on whether work qualified as an MCI, based on contractor statements and diagrams proving necessity and comprehensiveness, were not arbitrary and capricious, thereby dismissing the tenants' Article 78 petition.
