                  ORDER AND OPINION REMANDING PROCEEDING ON APPEAL

          On April 9, 1986 the above-named  petitioner  timely  refiled  an
          appeal against an order issued on February 8, 1986  by  the  Rent
          Administrator of the Rent Office located at 260 East 161st Street 
          Bronx, New York concerning the housing  accommodations  known  as
          1390 Prospect Avenue, Apartment 12, Bronx, New York.

          This appeal has been considered in conformity with the applicable 
          provisions of Chapter 403 of the Law of 1983 (Omnibus Housing Act 
          of 19893), as  amended,  and  of  the  applicable  rent  law  and
          regulations, but, in the opinion of the Commissioner, the  record
          is not adequate to form the basis for a proper  determination  of
          the issues in this proceeding.  The proceeding must therefore  be
          remanded to the Rent Administrator for further consideration.

          THEREFORE, in accordance with he provisions of Chapter 403,  Laws
          of 1983 as amended by Chapter 102, Laws of 1984  and  Operational
          Bulletin 84-1, it is

          ORDERED, that this appeal be and the same hereby  is  granted  to
          the extent of remanding this proceeding to the Rent Administrator 
          for further processing in accordance with this Order and Opinion. 
          The order and determination of the Rent Administrator remains  in
          full force and effect until a new order is  issued  upon  remand.
          However, if the Rent Administrator's order retroactively adjusted 
          the rent and directed a refund of monies between the parties,  so
          much of the Rent Administrator's order as directed such refund is 
          hereby stayed until a new order is issued upon remand.


          ISSUED:
