      ORDER AND OPINION REJECTING TENANT'S PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
             AND TERMINATING OWNERS PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

     On                   , the above-named petitioner  filed  a  Petition  for
     Administrative Review against an Order  issued  on                 by  the
     Rent Administrator of the District Rent office located at  
     Gertz Plaza, Jamaica, New York.

     On August 7, 1989, the Commissioner issued an order of rejection since the 
     PAR failed to set forth  the  names  and  mailing  address  of  the  owner
     affected by the petition.

     The Division record reveals that the owner filed an answer to the tenant's 
     PAR which was improperly docketed as the tenant's refiled  PAR  on  August
     17, 1991, under docket no. EI 630271-RT.

     Moreover, the reco d  indicates  that  the  envelope  address  to  tenant-
     petitioner, containing the rejection order was returned to the Division as 
     improperly addressed.

     Therefore the rejection order is reissued  based  on  an  irregularity  in
     vital matters to afford the parties their due process rights.

     This order is reissued to  afford  the  tenant,  in  accordance  witht  he
     Division's usual procedures, the right to refile a properly completed  PAR
     in a timely manner as more fully set forth below.

     Additionally, the owner's answer improperly docketed under EI 630271-RT is 
     hereby terminated.

     The petition is rejected pursuant to Operational Bulletin 84-1,
     since  it  fails  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of  the   aforesaid
     Operational Bulletin as indicated by the item(s) checked below.

          ( )  The petitioner fails to set forth t e  name  and  post-
               office  address  of  an  aggrieved  person  filing  the
               petition, and whether it is the tenant or owner of  the
               accommodations involved  or  a  representative  of  the
               tenant or owner or other aggrieved person.








          ( )  The petitioner has not submitted  a  complete  copy  of
               the District Rent Office order being appealed.
      
          ( )  The petition fails to set forth the locati n  by  post-
               office address of all housing  accommodations  involved
               in the petition.

          (X)  The petition fails to  set  forth  the  name(s)  and/or
               location by post-office  address  of  tenant(s)  and/or
               owner(s) affected by the petition.

          (X)  The petitioner filing the petition has failed  to  sign
               and/or verify or  affirm  the  petition  and/or  submit
               written  evidence  of  authorization  to  file  a   PAR
               (2529.1)(b)(2).

          ( )  The petitioner fails to set  forth  objections  to  the
               order being appealed.

          ( )  The petition has not been filed in an original and  one
               copy at the Division of Housing and Community  Renewal,
               Office  of  Rent  Administration,  Gertz  Plaza,  92-31
               Union Hall Street, Jamaica, NY 11433.

     THEREFORE, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 403, Laws of 1983, 
     as amended by Chapter 102, Laws of 1984,  as  implemented  by  Operational
     Bulletin 84-1, it is

     ORDERED, that the petition is hereby rejected, without  prejudice  to  the
     right of the Petitioner to refile properly within thirty  five  (35)  days
     from the date of this notice.

     NOTE:  Should the Petitioner refile the petition, the papers must  include
     a copy of the Rent Administrator's Order and  must  reference  the  Docket
     Number of this Order and Opinion rejecting the Petition for Administrative 
     Review.

     PLEASE TAKE  NOTICE  that  should  you  fail  to  fully  comply  with  all
     requirements for a proper administrative appeal, within the specified time 
     limit, there will be no further opportunity to refile.  A late refiling or 
     one that does not meet all procedural requirements may be  dismissed  with
     prejudice.

     The petitioner is hereby  cautioned  that  it  shall  be  insufficient  to
     attempt to comply with this order by resubmitting a copy of  the  petition
     which has been rejected.  A new filing  is  required  and  failure  to  so
     refile in compliance with all procedural requirements within 35  days  may
     result in a dismissal of the proceeding.










     Should Petitioner be unable to correct the procedural defect(s)  indicated
     herein above within the  35  day  refiling  period,  the  Petitioner  must
     nevertheless refile within the stated 35 days, setting  forth  the  reason
     why the defect(s) could not be cured  as  of  the  time  of  refiling  and
     request an extension of time within which to perfect the appeal.



     ISSUED:






                                                                            
                                                      ELLIOT SANDER
                                                    Deputy Commissioner
