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.

          APPEAL OF                               DOCKET NOS. BC 130367 RT

               Chester H. Greenspan               DRO DOCKET ZQCS 886 OM

           ORDER AND OPINION TERMINATING ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW DOCKET NO.
                                    BC 130367 RT
                                          

               On March 4, 1987 the above-named petitioner-tenant filed a 
          Petition for Administrative Review against an order issued on 
          January 29, 1987 by the Rent Administrator, 92-31 Union Hall 
          Street, Jamaica, New York, concerning housing accommodations 
          located at 83-15 116th Street, Kew Gardens, New York.

               The instant petition, which was inadvertently docketed 
          separately and assigned Administrative Review Docket No. BC 
          130367, is a duplicate of a petition previously considered by the 
          Commissioner under Dockets Nos. 130268-81 RT and BC 130292-300 
          RT, which resulted in the issuance, on August 31, 1987 of a final 
          Order and Opinion Denying Petition for Administrative Appeal.  
          There is, therefore, no further issue to be determined herein.

               THEREFORE, pursuant to the Rent Stabilization Law and Code, 
          it is

               ORDERED, that this Administrative Review Docket No. BC 
          130367 RT be, and the same hereby is, terminated.

               ISSUED:


                                                                           
                                                  ELLIOT SANDER
                                                  Deputy Commissioner       
               















          DOCKET NO.: BC 130367 RT

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.
