Opinion
Argued June 3, 1953
Decided July 14, 1953
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, AURELIO, J.
Philip D. Straffin for appellant.
Beatrice Shainswit and Robert H. Schaffer for Joseph D. McGoldrick, State Rent Administrator, respondent.
There was ample basis for the orders of respondent State Rent Administrator of April 24, 1952, decreasing the rent because of the diminution of essential services promised by the landlord and that rent reduction was properly continued as long as the services in question were withheld. While it appears that the landlord resumed furnishing such services in January of 1953, it also appears that the Administrator, by order, approved and directed restoration of the rent reductions.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.
LEWIS, Ch. J., CONWAY, DESMOND, DYE, FULD and FROESSEL, JJ., concur; VAN VOORHIS, J., taking no part.
Order affirmed.
