            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 known as 3152 Brighton 6th Street, various 
          apartments, Brooklyn, N.Y.

               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.

               The issue before the Commissioner is whether the 
          Administrator's order was correct.

               The Administrator's order being appealed, DD220034BT was 
          issued on January 5, 1990.  In that order, the Administrator 
          revoked the finding of CC220124BR, issued October 1, 1988, that the 
          owner be granted eligibility for a 1988/89 Maximum Base Rent (MBR) 
          increase, due to the owner's meeting the violation certification 
          requirements necessary to the owner's being granted an MBR 
          increase.

               On appeal the owner contends that he has cleared the 
          violations.  The owner also states that "...more information will 
          follow at a later date."

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
















          ADM. REVIEW DOCKET NO.: EA230233RO

               As noted by a July 21, 1988 inspection of the subject premises 
          carried out by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation 
          and Development (HPD), the owner had not cleared a sufficient 
          number of violations from the subject premises in order to gain 
          eligibility to raise MBRs at the subject premises for 1988/89.

               The Commissioner notes that more than three and one-half years 
          have elapsed between the filing date of the petition and the issue 
          date of this order.  The Commissioner is therefore of the opinion 
          that a sufficient amount of time has elapsed to enable the owner to 
          submit supplemental information to the Commissioner.

               THEREFORE, in accordance with the provisions of the Rent and 
          Eviction Regulations, it is

               ORDERED, that this petition for administrative review be, and 
          the same hereby is, denied, and that the order of the Rent 
          Administrator be, and the same hereby is, affirmed.

          ISSUED:



                                                                         
                                             JOSEPH A. D'AGOSTA
