. The examiner’s decision and order is somewhat inconsistent on this point. In its discussion of this issue in section V of the order, the examiner finds that there was a two-day reduction in heat, and that such a "reduction was substantial.” In paragraph three of the order's "Conclusions of Law,” however, the examiner states that "[t]he Petitioner [tenant] has failed to prove ... that services ... have been ... substantially reduced .... ” The examiner nevertheless goes on to conclude in paragraph six that the landlord "acted knowingly and wil[l]fully in substantially reducing ... heat, and failing to reduce the rent proportionally.” Since the examiner ultimately ordered a rebate on the rent and a fine based on the reduction of services, we construe paragraph three of the "Conclusions of Law” to be a clerical error and consider the findings and conclusions in section V to be controlling. 6
