            ORDER AND OPINION DENYING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW


               On April 4, 1988, the above-named landlord timely filed a 
          petition for administrative review of an order issued on February 
          26, 1988 by a Rent Administrator concerning various housing 
          accommodations in the premises known as 99 Madison Street, New 
          York, New York.

              The Commissioner has reviewed all of the evidence in the record 
          and has carefully considered that portion of the record  relevant 
          to the issues raised by the petition for review.

              On June 19, 1986, the rent agency issued an "Interim Order of 
          Eligibility," for the subject building's 1986-1987 maximum base 
          rent (MBR).

              In the order under review herein, the Administrator revoked its 
          earlier order issued on June 19, 1986, and issued a new "Interim 
          Order of Eligibility," for the subject building's 1986-1987 MBR, 
          based upon actual figures which were submitted by the subject 
          landlord.

              The subject landlord's petition merely asserts that the rent 
          agency was in error in revoking the Administrator's order issued on 
          June 19, 1986.

              To the petition the landlord attaches a form entitled 
          "Challenge Re:  Maximum Base Rent Order."

              After careful consideration, the Commissioner is of the opinion 












          Docket No. CC430465RO


          that the subject landlord's petition should be denied.

              The Commissioner notes that the aforementioned challenge, which 
          is attached to the landlord's petition, does not state any 
          objections to the rent agency's MBR order.

              Furthermore, the Commissioner finds that the subject landlord's 
          petition does not raise any issues which would warrant a revocation 
          of the Administrator's order.

              Accordingly, the Commissioner finds that the subject landlord's 
          petition should be denied.

              THEREFORE, in accordance with the City Rent and Rehabilitation 
          Law and the Rent and Eviction Regulations, it is

              ORDERED, that this petition be, and the same hereby is, denied, 
          and that the District Rent Administrator's order be, and the same 
          hereby is, affirmed.

          ISSUED:



                                                                            
                                             Joseph A. D'Agosta
                                             Acting Deputy Commissioner
