            ORDER AND OPINION DENYING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

          The above-named owner filed a timely petition for administrative 
          review of an order issued concerning the housing accommodations 
          relating to the above described docket number.

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

          On February 10, 1988, the tenant commenced the proceeding below 
          by filing a complaint asserting that the owner had failed to 
          maintain certain services on the subject premises.

          On April 15, 1988, the owner was served with the complaint and 
          was afforded an opportunity to review it and comment thereupon.

          The owner did not interpose an answer.

          On March 15, 1989, an inspection of the subject premises was 
          conducted by a D.H.C.R. inspector who confirmed the existence of 
          defective conditions.

          On March 29, 1989, the Administrator issued an order directing 
          restoration of services and a reduction of the stabilization 
          rent.      
















          DOCKET NO. DE 110236 RO



          In its Petition for Administrative Review, filed on May 3, 1989, 
          the owner requests that the Administrator's order be reversed.  
          The owner states that the order was arbitrary, capricious and in 
          violation of its right to due process.  The owner also states 
          that a complete discussion of the facts, proofs and exhibits will 
          be submitted at a later date as soon as a review of the case file 
          is possible.

          After careful consideration, the Commissioner is of the opinion 
          that the petition should be denied.

          As of the date of this order, the owner has not offered any 
          reason to disturb the Administrator's order, and it should be 
          affirmed.

          This order is issued without prejudice to the owner's right to 
          apply for a restoration of rent based on a restoration of 
          services, if the facts so warrant.

          THEREFORE, in accordance with the Rent Stabilization Law and 
          Code, it is

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

          ISSUED:



                                                                           
                                                  JOSEPH A. D'AGOSTA
