         ORDER AND OPINION TERMINATING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

      On November 27, 1991, the above-named owner filed a petition for 
      administrative review of an order issued on October 25, 1991 by a  
      District Rent Administrator concerning the housing accommodations known 
      as 420 East 79th Street, Apartment 8B, New York, New York wherein the 
      Administrator determined that the owner had overcharged the tenant.

      Subsequently, the owner advised the Division of Housing and Community 
      Renewal (DHCR) that it wished to withdraw its petition for 
      administrative review pursuant to a so-ordered stipulation of settlement 
      entered into by the owner and the tenant.  The stipulation stated that 
      the parties would withdraw any pending petitions for administrative 
      review.

      The Commissioner is of the opinion that this petition for administrative 
      review should be terminated.

      The Commissioner approves the owner's application to withdraw its 
      petition for administrative review.  However, the Stipulation of 
      Settlement will not be binding on future tenants.  Accordingly, the 
      legal regulated rent established by the Administrator in Docket No. CL 
      410031 RP remains in full force and effect.

      To the extent that the stipulation purports to settle arrearages, the 
      Commissioner notes that this is a contractual matter between the parties 
      not within the purview of the Rent Stabilization Law and Code, and not 
      subject to the jurisdiction to the DHCR.

      The owner is advised that a copy of this order is being sent to the 
      current tenant.

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














          FK 410174 RO


      ORDERED, that this petition be, and the same hereby is, terminated.

      ISSUED:

                                                                              
                                              JOSEPH A. D'AGOSTA
