The petitioner rented a rent-stabilized apartment from the Marrones. The rent paid by the prior tenant — $831.20 per month — was predicated upon a configuration of the apartment as a two-bedroom unit. Although two additional bedrooms had been added to the subject unit before the Marrones purchased the building, the Marrones had sealed off the doorway to those rooms and the rooms were not rented or used. When the petitioner rented the apartment, the Marrones, at her request, unsealed the doorway, performed electrical work to rewire the extra bedrooms so that they would be on the electric meter for the subject unit, and rented the unit to the petitioner as a four-bedroom apartment. The Marrones charged the petitioner an initial rent of $1,200 per month.
