On July 8, 2008, and July 31, 2008, an RGB hearing examiner heard evidence on the consolidated rent decrease petitions. The following witnesses testified at the hearing: tenants Rosskam and Salvatore; SMP’s manager; and the RGB hearing investigator. On October 14, 2008, the hearing examiner issued a 99-page decision ordering a decrease in rent of $48 per month to tenant Salvatore, beginning effective December 1, 2008, and measured as follows: a $3-per-month decrease because SMP had removed the name of Salvatore’s business from the building’s directory, a $25-per-month decrease related to the hot tub (“reduction of hours Jacuzzi heated”); and a $20-per-month decrease related to the sauna (“defective timer/inadequate heat”). The hearing examiner granted a rent decrease of $25 per month to tenant Rosskam effective beginning December 1, 2008, related to the hot tub (“reduction in hours for heat”).
