1110. Annual General Adjustment Order for 1989
(1) In accordance with Section 11 of the Rent Stabilization and Eviction for
Good Cause Ordinance as amended by the Tenants Rights Amendments Act of 1982,
the Rent Stabilization Board hereby adjusts the 1988 Rent Ceilings (exclusive of
temporary increases in rent ceilings such as capital improvements) upward by 3% for all
units covered by the Ordinance, plus an additional one-half percent (0.50%) for units
where the landlord pays for the cost of gas or electricity in the unit. Thus, where the
cost of gas or electricity in an individual unit is not paid for by the landlord, the Board
sets the Rent Ceiling at a level 3% greater than the 1988 Rent Ceiling. Where the cost
of gas or electricity in an individual unit is paid for by the landlord, the Board sets the
Rent Ceiling for such units at a level 3.5% greater than the 1988 Rent Ceiling.
The 1988 Rent Ceiling is defined as the Base Rent Ceiling established in Section 10 of
the Ordinance plus any adjustment of the base rent ceiling granted by the Board.
(2) Rent Ceilings adjusted pursuant to this Order may be rounded to the
nearest dollar amount.
(3) The adjustments granted by this Order shall become effective pursuant to
provisions of the Ordinance and this Order.
(4) The upward general adjustment granted in this Order does not
automatically provide for a rent increase. Rent increases pursuant to this Order shall
become effective after the landlord gives the tenant(s) at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice of such rent increases and the notice period expires.
Each notice to a tenant of a rent increase pursuant to this Order shall be in the following
form:
