Description
CLAGETT, Associate Judge. This case is before us on a petition brought by tenants of the Carlyn Apartments to review orders of the Administrator of Rent Control allowing increases in rent. The building in question was completed early in 1942 and contains some 270 apartment units. The present proceedings originated when the landlord filed petitions asking for increases of 7 1/2% based on alleged increases in taxes and operating costs. About a month later some seventy tenants petitioned the Administrator for a reduction in rent. The two cases were consolidated and a hearing was had before an examiner. He took testimony and received various documents in evidence and thereafter entered his findings and recommended orders which awarded increases amounting to approximately 6.94%. Some 116, tenants petitioned the Administrator for a review of such orders but the Administrator approved them. Tenants appealed to the Municipal Court which later transferred the case to us under authority of the amended Rent Act. 1 The tenants assign some 17 errors, all of which have been considered, but we need mention only four: (1) the failure of the examiner and the Administrator to make detailed findings of fact showing the basis for the rental increase allowed; (2) the failure of the examiner and the Administrator to make allowance for the fact that the expenses for the last year of operation were not typical; (3) the failure of the examiner and the Administrator to reduce rentals because of the decrease or abandonment of certain services; and (4) the refusal of the examiner and the Administrator to consider evidence showing an income from a garage located in the building and used and paid for by some of the tenants.
