The petitioner thereafter filed a rent overcharge complaint with the DHCR, and the Rent Administrator, inter alia, determined that a rent overcharge had occurred. In so concluding, the Rent Administrator rejected the Marrones’ contention that they were entitled to charge a first stabilization rent because the subject apartment had been changed from a two-bedroom unit to a four-bedroom unit. On the Marrone’s subsequent petition for administrative review, the Deputy Commissioner, among other things, affirmed the Rent Administrator’s finding that the Marrones were not entitled to charge a first stabilization rent, reasoning that because the Marrones had done no more than unseal a doorway, they had not changed the perimeter of the apartment.
