            ORDER AND OPINION DENYING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

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

          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 petition.

          The tenant commenced the proceeding below by  filing  a  complaint
          asserting that the owner had failed to maintain  certain  services
          in the subject apartment.

          Subsequently, the  tenant,  by  letter  dated  January  22,  1989,
          withdrew her  complaint  and  requested  that  the  proceeding  be
          terminated.
                                    
          Thereafter, the Rent Administrator issued an order  based  on  the
          tenant's letter of withdrawal, denying  the  tenant's  application
          and terminating the proceeding.

          In her petition for administrative  review,  the  tenant  requests
          reversal of the Administrator's order  asserting  that  the  owner
          failed to rectify conditions for which  the  complaint  was  based
          upon.

          The owner interposed an answer to the  tenant's  petition  contend
          ing, that the tenant withdrew her complaint,  and  the  owner  has
          completed all required repairs.

          The Commissioner is of the opinion that  the  petition  should  be
          denied.

          The Rent Administrator correctly terminated the  proceeding  based
          on the tenant's letter of withdrawal.  The petitioner  has  failed
          to point to any error in fact or law in the Administrator's order. 
          Accordingly, this petition must be denied.

          This order is issued without prejudice to the  tenant's  right  to
          file a new complaint, 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

          hereby is, affirmed.

          ISSUED:
