            ORDER AND OPINION DENYING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW   


          The above-named owner filed a  timely  petition  for  administra-
          tive review of an order issued concerning  the  housing  accommo-
          dation 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. 

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

          In its answer, the owner denied the allegations set forth in  the
          tenant's  complaint  or  otherwise  asserted  that  all  required
          repairs had been or will be completed.     

          Thereafter an inspection of the subject apartment  was  conducted
          by a D.H.C.R. inspector who confirmed the existence of  defective
          conditions.

          The Rent Administrator directed restoration of these services and 
          further ordered, a reduction of the stabilization rent.

          In its petition for administrative review, the owner  states,  in
          substance, that repairs have been performed.



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

          The owner's petition makes it clear that it is the  owner's  con-
          tention that repairs had been made following the issuance of  the
          Rent Administrator's order.

          Accordingly, the Rent Administrator's order reducing the rent was 






          GA 220042-RO
          nevertheless correct when issued, and this order is issu d  with-
          out prejudice to the  owner  filing  a  restoration  of  services
          application.


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

          ORDERED, that this petition be, and the same hereby  is,  denied,
          and the Rent Administrator's order be, and the  same  hereby  is,
          affirmed.


          ISSUED:



                                                                           
                                                   JOSEPH A. D'AGOSTA
