           ORDER AND OPINION DENYING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

        The above-named tenant 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 of the evidence in the record  and
        has carefully considered that portion of the record relevant to  the
        issues raised by the petition.

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

        On April 16, 1991, the tenant stated by telephone to  this  Agency's
        inspector assigned to perform the  inspection,  that  the  condition
        complained of no longer exists.

        On May 2, 1991, the tenant was mailed  a  statement  to  acknowledge
        that       the       complaint       had       been        resolved.
                          
        The Rent Administrator issued an order dated  May  30,  1991,  which
        terminated  the  proceeding  since  the  tenant  failed  to   submit
        information/evidence requested on May 2, 1991.

        In her petition for administrative review the  tenant  asserts  that
        she had not received any notification on May 2, 1991.

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

        The tenant's contention that, she had not received notification from 
        the Administrator, is without  legal  merit  to  revoke  the  order.
        Moreover, the tenant does not allege  her  condition  complained  of
        still exists.

        This order is without prejudice to the tenant's  right  to  file  an
        application for decrease in service, if the facts so warrant.






          Docket Number: FE 210515-RT


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

        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:
