For purposes of calculating the new rent ceiling, the 1991 rent ceiling is defined as the
base rent ceiling established in Section 10 of the Ordinance plus any permanent
adjustment of the base rent ceiling granted by the Board (except increases under
Regulation 1280). Regulations 1101(2), 1103(2), 1104(3), 1106(3), 1107(3), 1108(2),
1110(2), and 1111(2) permitted, but did not require, that rent ceilings adjusted pursuant
to the order be rounded to the nearest dollar amount. For purposes of construing these
prior annual general adjustments, whenever the order permitted rounding, it shall be
assumed that any fraction of a dollar of fifty cents or more was rounded up and that any
fraction of a dollar of forty-nine cents or less was not rounded down. It is the intent of
this paragraph to minimize confusion about the exact amount of the rent ceiling
established by this order and to incorporate the computations used in certification
proceedings into this order.
(3) Rent ceilings adjusted pursuant to this order shall be rounded to the
nearest dollar amount. Amounts of fifty cents or more shall be rounded up; amounts of
forty-nine cents or less shall be rounded down.
(4) The adjustments granted by this order shall become effective on
November 1, 1991, provided the landlord is otherwise entitled to the adjustment
pursuant to the provisions of the Ordinance and this order.
