DHCR Decisions -- Pre 1994

DHCR Petition for Administrative Review (PAR) Decisions

In 1994, under pressure from tenant advocates, DHCR released approximately 6,000 PAR decisions. After Governor Pataki took office in 1995, DHCR refused to release other decisions in bulk. These decisions generally cover the 1990-1994 period and in many cases do not reflect current law or DHCR practice. The reader is cautioned to be aware of changes to the Rent Stabilization Law, the Rent Stabilization Code and DHCR practice since 1994. Also this database does not include all decisions prior to 1994 as DHCR intentionally withheld many decisions for unknown reasons.

         ORDER AND OPINION TERMINATING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

      On March 30, 1992, the above named petitioner-tenant filed a Petition 
      for Administrative Review against an order issued on February 25, 1992  
      by the District Rent Administrator 92-31 Union Hall Street, Jamaica, 
      New York concerning the housing accommodations known as 140 East 46th 
      Street, New York, New York, Apartment No. 10C wherein the Rent 
      Administrator consolidated the tenant's complaint of overcharge 
      (EG 410505 R) filed on July 25, 1990 with a pending tenant objection (EG 
      410024 TC) which was filed concurrently by the tenant.

      During the pendancy of this appeal, the tenant withdrew tenant objection 
      Docket EG 410024 TC which had been consolidated with Docket EG 410505 R 
      in the order appealed herein.  The Rent Administrator subsequently 
      issued an order terminating the tenant objection Docket EG 410024 TC on 
      January 21, 1993 based on the tenant's withdrawal.

      Accordingly, there is no longer an active issue to be determined in the 
      proceeding and this petition must be terminated as moot.

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

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


      ISSUED:

                                                                              
                                              JOSEPH A. D'AGOSTA
                                              Deputy Commissioner

The New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) is the state agency that administers the Rent Stabilization and Rent Control systems. DHCR has jurisdiction over many aspects of the landlord-tenant relationship, including the legal rent, the providing of various services and complaints of landlord harassment. In addition, landlords are able to apply to DHCR for increases in rent based on Major Capital Improvements or for other reasons.

Tenants and Landlords may initiate proceedings by filing complaints or applications with DHCR. After the agency collects evidence from both the tenant and landlord, it renders a decision by the District Rent Administrator (DRA) -- sometimes referred to as the District Rent Office (DRO).

Either party may then appeal the decision at the agency level by filing a Petition for Administrative Review (PAR) within 35 days. A PAR decision -- or sometimes called a Commissioner's Decision -- represents the final decision of the agency before parties may appeal in the state courts.
