REVIEW DOCKET NO.: AI 210087 RO          inspector disclosed the existence of defective conditions.                 In addition, the owner's allegation regarding access to  the          subject premises for the purpose of restoring services was not          raised before  the  Rent  Administrator  below,  thus  cannot  be          considered on appeal for the first time.               Based on a preponderance of the evidence,  the  Commissioner          finds insufficient reason to  disturb  the  Rent  Administrator's          order, and it should be affirmed.               This order is issued without prejudice to the owner's  right          to file a restoration of services application.               THEREFORE, in accordance with the Rent Stabilization Law and          Code, it is               ORDERED, that this petition be,  and  the  same  hereby  is,          denied, and that the Rent Administrator's order be, and the  same          hereby is, affirmed.          ISSUED:                                                                                                                  JOSEPH A.
