APPEAL DOCKET NO. BG-610210 RO               Subsequently,  the  owner  submitted,  in  support  of   its          petition, a statement of withdrawal, dated July  21,  1987,  from          the tenant attesting to the  fact  that  "this  matter  has  been          completed to my satisfaction."                 The Commissioner further notes that the evidence  of  record          includes a painting  allowance  agreement  dated  June  19,  1987          executed by the parties to this proceeding.               Accordingly, the Commissioner finds that the  District  Rent          Administrator erred by issuing the order of July 13, 1987.               THEREFORE, in accordance with the  provisions  of  the  Rent          Stabilization Law and Code, it is               ORDERED, that this petition be,  and  the  same  hereby  is,          granted and that the order of the District Rent Administrator be,          and the same hereby is, revoked.          ISSUED:                                                                                                                  JOSEPH A.
