From your 10/7:
The landlord and I are supposed to file papers on the subject. If I win, I get a
rent abatement.
I just got the landlord's statement. He says, yep, the services have been restored. OK,
I can understand him saying that.
But he ALSO says something like, the tenant
acknowledges that the services have been restored and has always said the services,
the such-and-such, have been
in operation. Bull! And I can prove it's bull.: I sure would appreciate it if someone please take a look at my posting on
: 10/7, about my landlord lying to the DHCR.
: Is lying by landlords so common and accepted that my
: question was silly? Here we have a situation where I can prove he
: lied.
: Any thoughts would be really really appreciated.
: Thanks,
: Brenda

Landlords lie to DHCR, they lie to HousingCourt: you're luckier than most: you get to respond in writing, a lot easier than in person in Court.

You have to file a response to his answer. Read DHCR's instructions carefully, consult a DHCR-experienced attorney if necessary. And you probably have to send a copy of each of the documents in yours and DHCR's 5-inch file with your response, as DHCR will not pull out its old files, but will only consider the 'evidence' you attach to your response. Try to avoid the word 'lie' when pointing out each and every one of them and backing it up with your documents.
