IN THE MATTER OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
APPEAL OF DOCKET NO.:

MERCEDES GREENE, RENT ADMINISTRATOR'S
DOCKET NOS.:
ZUC 000998-AR
PETITIONER (CPTA 21062)

ORDER AND OPINION REMANDING PROCEEDING TO ADMINISTRATOR AND
REVOKING ADMINISTRATOR'S ORDER
On January 6, 1987 the above named petitioner-tenant filed a
Petition for Administrative Review against an order of the Rent
Administrator issued December 5, 1986. The order concerned
housing accommodations known as Apartment 20 located at 207 West
110th Street, New York, New York. The Administrator affirmed a
prior order finding that petitioner was not subject to Rent
Control. The order states that the tenant failed to submit suf-
ficient evidence regarding her date of occupancy of the subject
accommodation.
This appeal has been considered in conformity with the applicable
provisions of law but, in the opinion of the Commissioner, the
record is not adequate to form the basis for a prop r determina-
tion of the issues in this proceeding. The proceeding must
therefore be remanded to the Rent Administrator for further
consideration.
The Commissioner notes that a check of DHCR records indicates
that, on September 29, 1983 New York City Office of Rent and
Housing Maintenance issued an order (Docket No. 2AD 32930)
wherein the subject apartme t was ordered recontrolled retro-
active to February 18, 1982. There was also a determination
issued on May 8, 1990 (BA 520031-U) finding that the Maximum
Legal Rent for the subject apartment is $205.00 effective October
15, 1984 to the present. Also the most recent registration
records on file with the Division reveal that the apartment is
not registered as stabilized and that the building has twenty
four (24) rent controlled apartments and six (6) stabilized
units.
Since the available evidence in the record supports a determina-
tion that the subject apartment is rent controlled and since it
cannot be determined how the Administrator concluded that the
tenant is not subject to Rent Control, the Commissioner is of the
opinion that the Administrator's order appealed herein should be
BA 520027-RT
revoked and the tenant should be afforded rent control status
pending the issuance of another order by the Administrator pur-
suant to this remand.
THEREFORE, pursuant to the Rent and Eviction Regulations, it is,
ORDERED, that this proceeding be, and the same hereby is,
remanded to the Rent Administrator for further processing in
accordance with this order and opinion and it is further
ORDERED, that the Rent Administrator's order be, and the same
hereby is, revoked.

ELLIOT SANDER
