           ORDER AND OPINION DENYING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

        On April 3, 1991, the above-named owner filed a timely petition  for
        administrative review of an  order  issued  on  February  27,  1991,
        concerning t e  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 August 6, 1990, the owner commenced this  proceeding   by  filing
        an application to restore rent based on the restoration of services.

        Thereafter on  January  28,  1991,  an  inspection  of  the  subject
        apartment was conducted by a  DHCR  inspector,  who  confirmed  that
        services have not been restored.

        On February 27, 1991, the Rent Administrator issued an  order  based
        on the inspection, finding that services  have  not  been  restored,
        denying the owner's request for rent restoration and continuing  the
        rent reduction in effect.

        In this petition, the owner alleges that repairs were  performed  in
        1988 and 1989 concerning orders issued during those years.

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

        Although the owner submits vague proof of repairs that  occurred  in
        the past, a January 28, 1991 inspection clearly showed that services 
        have not been restored.   Accordingly,  the  Administrator  properly
        denied the owner's application and continued the rent  reduction  in
        effect.

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







          Docket Number: FD-220041-RO

        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:
