Dorchester petitioned this court for review of the RHC decision, contending that the decision was inconsistent with the Rental Housing Act insofar as it required a pre-petition inspection of all rental units in Dorchester House — the basis for a statutory presumption that the building was in substantial compliance with the housing code — as a condition of approval of Dorchester’s capital improvement petition. Dorchester also contends that the RHC decision should not be given effect because it upset Dorchester’s expectations based on the Rent Administrator’s customary practice in reviewing and approving capital improvement petitions.
