(6) Development of On-Line Programs. The Board, in conjunction with the Department of Telecommunications and Information Services, shall design and implement on-line programs by September 1, 2003 to allow landlords and tenants to perform calculations concerning allowable increases for capital improvement, rehabilitation, energy conservation, and renewable energy work, and to compare average costs for work certified in prior decisions.
(d) Estimator. The Board or its Executive Director may hire an estimator where an expert appraisal is required.
(e) Filing Fee. The Board shall establish a filing fee based upon the cost of the capital improvement, rehabilitation, energy conservation improvement, or renewable energy improvement being reviewed. Such fees will pay for the costs of an estimator. These fees shall be deposited in the Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Fund pursuant to Section 10.117-88 of this Code.
(f) Application Procedures.
(1) Pre-Application Notice for Large Projects for Parcels or Buildings Containing Six or More Residential Units. If at any time prior to filing an application the landlord determines that the total cost of a project for a parcel or a building containing six or more residential units is reasonably expected to exceed $25,000 multiplied by the number of units on the parcel or in the building, the landlord shall immediately inform each tenant and the Rent Board in writing of the anticipated costs of the work. The landlord's notice must occur within 30 days after such determination by the landlord.
