PETITIONER X

ORDER AND OPINION GRANTING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

The petitioner-owner timely filed an administrative appeal
(PAR) against an order issued on January 17, 2025 by.the Rent
Administrator (RA) concerning the housing accommodation known as
- l o c a t e d at 251 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.

The RA order denied the tenant's rent overcharge complaint and
contained a calculation chart which calculated the legal regulated
rent for the subject apartment from December 1, 2016 through
December 31, 2023.

On PAR, the owner challenges the RA's calculation of the legal
regulated rent as of the January 1, 2023 renewal lease.
Specifically, the RA determined that the legal regulated rent as of
January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 was $3,517.63 per month.
Thi~ calculation was based on adding a 3.25% one-year guideline
increase to the·prior legal regulated rent of $3,458.01. The owner
states that the new legal regulated rent should be $3,570.40 per
month.

The ~AR is granted.

The owner's calculation of the legal regulated rent is correct
in that $3,458.01 + 3.25% = $3,570.40.

Admin Review Docket No. NN210021RO

The RA's rent calculation chart is modified such that the
legal regulated rent from January 1, 2023 through December 31,
2023 is $3,570.40. The owner may base future increases to the
legal regulated rent on that amount.
