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.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
APPEAL OF DOCKET NO. BC 410088 RO
DISTRICT RENT OFFICE
D & J ASSOCIATES, DOCKET NO. TC 79466 G
PETITIONER
-------------------------------------X
ORDER AND OPINION TERMINATING PROCEEDING
On November 21, 1986, the above-named owner filed a petition
for administrative review of an order issued on October 21, 1986
by a District Rent Administrator concerning the housing
accommodations known as Apartment 9, 33 West 16th Street, New
York, New York.
The instant petition, which was inadvertently docketed
seperately and assigned Administrative Review Docket No. BC
410088 RO is a duplicate of a petition previously considered by
the Commissioner under Docket No. BC 410214 RO which resulted in
the issuance on December 19, 1990 of an order and opinion
remanding the proceeding to the Rent Administrator.
There is, therefore, no further issue to be determined
herein.
THEREFORE, pursuant to the Rent Stabilization Law and Code,
it is
ORDERED, that this proceeding under Administrative Review
Docket No. BC 410088 RO be, and the same hereby is, terminated.
ISSUED:
JOSEPH A. D'AGOSTA
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.
