Are DHCR Rent Administrators "clerks"?

Postby <dhcr loser> » Fri Apr 12, 2002 7:11 pm

Hello all,
I just lost a DHCR case, and BOY is it a nutty decision! I just found the following on a landlord website:
"Many Landlord's are successful on PAR's simply because they are reviewed by administrative personnel at DHCR, as opposed to the original tenant complaints, which are reviewed by clerical personnel whose decisions are not always based on the law and regulations."
Is this true? I was wondering because the decision was just nutty--the so-called "rent administrator" seemed to have a screw loose.
Yes, I have filed a PAR.
Also--has anyone filed an Art. 78? (Assuming I lose--I want to fight this one!) How much is the retainer?

I don't know if they are clerks, but their decisions can be irrational. A PAR is always worth the effort.

Have no idea about Art. 78 retainers. I am in a similar situation and have the same question.

It would be a nice to have a closed forum concentrating on DHCR issues, where people can exchange info freely without worrying about landlord snooping. How about it, Tenant.net?
