                      ORDER AND OPINION TERMINATING PROCEEDING

               On May 26, 1987, the above-named landlord filed a petition for 
          administrative review of an order issued on May 15, 1987 by an 
          Administrator concerning the housing accommodation known as 
          Apartment 66, 571 West 139th Street, New York, New York.

               Subsequent to the filing of the landlord's petition, the rent 
          agency mailed two written inquiries, dated March 24, 1994 and April 
          15, 1994, to the above-mentioned landlord which requested whether 
          there is still an active issue to be determined with respect to the 
          aforementioned petition.  Both inquiries were returned to the rent 
          agency by the post office in envelopes marked "Not Deliverable As 
          Addressed - Unable To Forward."  The Commissioner points out that 
          the rent agency mailed the above-mentioned inquiries to the address 
          the landlord noted in his petition, which is the same address the 
          above-mentioned landlord noted in his previous registration 
          statements submitted to the rent agency.

               The rent agency records reflect that there is a new owner of 
          the subject building.

               The rent agency mailed three written inquiries, dated March 
          24, 1994, April 15, 1994 and April 27, 1994, to the current 
          registered owner of the subject building which requested whether 
          there is still an active issue to be determined with respect to the 
          aforementioned petition.  By letter, dated May 18, 1994, the 
          subject building's current owner noted that there is no longer an 
          active issue to be resolved in this proceeding, and that the owner 
          withdraws its petition for administrative review.
