Mr. Hutchinson stated that the person that preceded Ms. Slipoy was the same person that had a previous issue. Ms. Slipoy stated that the rent was raised to the current CPI. Ms. Rumpf noted that the Ordinance does not provide for this increase. Ms. Regan-Levine questioned if as the lease turned over, was the rent increased? Ms. Slipoy stated it was increased. She was not aware that she had to do an application for the end of the year increase. She thought it was for the entire year 2019. Mr. Amoruso stated he has all the information for now, and has the current application, the CPI was 2.4%. Ms. Rumpf stated it is her legal opinion that this is a mute point, there should be no increase. There is no issue for this year. A refund is due to the tenants due to the increase. Mr. Dimino agrees, there is no entitlement to an increase. He would not recommend a fine and feels that the lack of an increase would be the fine in this case. Ms. Rumpf stated that the landlord would need to give a credit back to every tenant that is affected, going forward. Mr. Amoruso will compile a listing of the affected tenants and the refund for the October 2019 – March 2020 time period. Ms. Rumpf further noted that the landlord should try to locate those tenants who may have moved on in order to provide a refund to them. Mr. Amoruso would like to schedule the present CPI application for the March 11, 2021 meeting.
