Finally, we consider Dorchester’s assertion — which respondent has not contradicted — that the Rent Administrator’s practice, prior to the decision in issue here, was to accept housing providers’ self-certifications that inspections were requested or conducted as sufficient to trigger the statutory presumption, for rent ceiling adjustment purposes, that a housing accommodation was in substantial compliance with the housing code. Dorchester represents that, in previous cases of which it is aware, the Rent Administrator did not require verification by the Housing Inspection Division that all units were inspected within thirty days before the rent ceiling adjustment petition was filed. Dorchester argues that the RHC should be foreclosed from “adopt[ing] a wholesale change of policy without prior notice.”
