DHCR Decisions -- Pre 1994

DHCR Petition for Administrative Review (PAR) Decisions

In 1994, under pressure from tenant advocates, DHCR released approximately 6,000 PAR decisions. After Governor Pataki took office in 1995, DHCR refused to release other decisions in bulk. These decisions generally cover the 1990-1994 period and in many cases do not reflect current law or DHCR practice. The reader is cautioned to be aware of changes to the Rent Stabilization Law, the Rent Stabilization Code and DHCR practice since 1994. Also this database does not include all decisions prior to 1994 as DHCR intentionally withheld many decisions for unknown reasons.

           ORDER AND OPINION TERMINATING ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL PROCEEDING  


          On October 28, 1986, the above-named petitioner-tenant filed an 
          Administrative Appeal against an order issued  on  September  23,
          1986 by the District Rent Administrator, 10 Columbus Circle, 
          New York, New York, concerning the housing  accommodations  known
          as Apartment J, 235 West 70th Street, New York, New York.

          A review of the record indicates that the instant  administrative
          appeal is a duplicate of the tenant's administrative appeal which 
          was consolidated with the owner's administrative appeal  for  de-
          termination under Administrative Review Docket No. AJ 410016-RO.

          On August 9, 1989, the Commissioner issued an order  and  opinion
          under Administrative Review Docket No. AJ 410016-RO which granted 
          the tenant's administrative appeal and denied the owner's  admin-
          istrative appeal.

          In view of the foregoing, the Commissioner is of the opinion that 
          the instant proceeding should be terminated.








          THEREFORE, in accordance with the provisions of the Rent Stabili 
          zation Law and Code, it is,

          ORDERED, that this administrative appeal proceeding be,  and  the
          same hereby is, terminated.


          ISSUED:

                                                Deputy Commissioner

The New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) is the state agency that administers the Rent Stabilization and Rent Control systems. DHCR has jurisdiction over many aspects of the landlord-tenant relationship, including the legal rent, the providing of various services and complaints of landlord harassment. In addition, landlords are able to apply to DHCR for increases in rent based on Major Capital Improvements or for other reasons.

Tenants and Landlords may initiate proceedings by filing complaints or applications with DHCR. After the agency collects evidence from both the tenant and landlord, it renders a decision by the District Rent Administrator (DRA) -- sometimes referred to as the District Rent Office (DRO).

Either party may then appeal the decision at the agency level by filing a Petition for Administrative Review (PAR) within 35 days. A PAR decision -- or sometimes called a Commissioner's Decision -- represents the final decision of the agency before parties may appeal in the state courts.
