            ORDER AND OPINION DENYING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
                                          

          On May 23, 1988, the above-named petitioner-tenant filed a petition 
          for administrative review (PAR) of an order issued on April 29, 
          1988, by the Rent Administrator, concerning the housing accommoda- 
          tion known as 59 East 79th Street, Apartment 4-A, New York, 
          New York, wherein the Administrator determined that the tenant had 
          acknowledged that the condition in her complaint had been resolved.

          The Commissioner has reviewed all of the evidence in the record and 
          has carefully considered that portion of the record relevant to the 
          issue raised by the administrative appeal.

          The proceeding was commenced by the filing of a complaint of de- 
          crease in services dated October 30, 1987, alleging a non-working 
          refrigerator.  Thereafter on January 13, 1988, the tenant advised 
          this agency that she was withdrawing her complaint after reaching 
          an agreement with the owner.  An order was issued accordingly.

          In the PAR, the tenant contends that the order was issued in error 
          and that the refrigerator is still non-working or inadequate.

          The Commissioner is of the opinion that the tenant's PAR should be 
          denied.

          The tenant's correspondence dated January 13, 1988 bearing Docket 
          No. BJ420576S clearly indicates that in return for concessions or 
          promises made by the owner the tenant was withdrawing her com- 
          plaint.  The Administrator's order was, therefore, correct when 
          issued.  The tenant's error provides no basis to overturn the 
          Administrator's order.
