In February of 1992, a Board Hearing Examiner held a hearing to determine whether a certificate of eviction should issue for nonpayment of rent. The Hearing Examiner found that Sycamore had made reasonable efforts to correct the lead-paint condition. Nevertheless, the Hearing Officer concluded that the tenant was entitled to a 50 percent reduction in rent, in accordance with Board Regulation 61-03 and 61-04(4), for the period beginning March 6, 1991, when Sycamore acquired the property, until January 10, 1992, when Star issued the certificate of reoccupancy. *490Because the rent abatement due to the tenant exceeded the amount allegedly due to Sycamore, the Hearing Officer recommended to the Board that the certificate of eviction be denied.
