                 ORDER AND OPINION REMANDING PROCEEDING ON APPEAL

     On February 27, 1986 the abovenamed petitioner owner filed a Petition  for
     Administrative Review against an order issued on February 10, 1986 by  the
     Rent Administrator concerning the housing accommodations  known  as  45-43
     41st Street, Apartment 1R, Sunnyside, Queens.

     The herein appealed order of the  Rent  Administrator  revoked  fuel  cost
     adjustments for the subject rent controlled apartment for 1984 & suspended 
     them for 1985 based on the failure of the owner to file a report of a fuel 
     cost price decrease.

     In his petition the owner alleges that, in connection with this and  other
     proceedings, he has respectedly submitted copies of timely reports and has 
     no copies left.

     The Commissioner is of the opinion that the proceeding should be  remanded
     fore further processing.

     The  present  record  is  inadequate  to  form  a  proper  basis   for   a
     determination opf the issue presented which may involve  other  apartments
     or proceedings.

     The Commissioner notes that there is also confusion in the  record  as  to
     the identity of the apartment and building  involved  possibly  because  2
     tenants in the same or adjoining buildings have the same name (Rice).

     The Administrator may give consideration as to whether the owner had filed 
     timely reports as to other apartments for the period involved.

     THEREFORE, pursuant to the Rent and  Eviction  Regulations  for  New  York
     City, it is







      


     ORDERED, that this petition be, and the same hereby  is,  granted  to  the






          DOCKET NUMBER:ARL 08368-Q
     extent of remanding this proceeding to the Rent Administrator for  further
     processing in accord  herewith.   The  order  of  the  Rent  Administrator
     remains in full force and effect  except  that  the  direction  to  refund
     overcharges is stayed, as are any  arrears  which  may  result  from  this
     order, until a new order is issued on remand.
