    Question Is A DHCR Order Still Valid After a Consent Judgment

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: New York

    I was granted DHCR order reducing rent due to violations in my apt. Shortly landlord took me to housing court because of unpaid one month rent for not repairing those violations. As not represented I signed a stipulation of paying arrears, rent increase in accordance with a new lease, (even though landlord had no right to rent increase due to the above order) and waving DHCR claims. However, the stipulation also provided that l/l must repair those violations within 30 days . In addition that stipulation was improperly made by not disclosing the fact that they are not entitled to any rent increase, should it be considered invalid since l/l failed to fix violations w/in 30 days (in fact, he never did)? That order reducing rent is still valid on DHCR website. What is my standing, can I use that order (in view of court stipulation), and if so, how I should proceed? Thanks!

    You should contact the DHCR.

    By waiving your DHCR claims, you may have placed yourself in the position of having to seek relief through the court that issued the consent judgment.

    I am not sure if respondent (unlike plaintiff, who took him to the court) may be considered the one having/choosing to seek relief through the court that issued the consent judgment. In any event, is there a time limitation for that unfulfilled judgment?
