     ORDER AND OPINION DISMISSING PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

            
          On May 24, 1990, the above-named  petitioner  filed  a  Petition  for
     Administrative Review (PAR) against an order issued on April 13, 1990,  by
     the Rent Administrator of  the  District  Rent  Office  located  at  Gertz
     Plaza, 92-31 Union Hall Street, Jamaica, New York.

          The aforesaid Petition  was  not  filed  within  35  days  after  the
     issuance date of the order as required by the applicable  Regulations  and
     Operational  Bulletin  84-1,   which   provide   that   a   Petition   for
     Administrative Review must be filed within 35 days  after  the  date  such
     order is issued.

          There is no provision under the applicable Regulations permitting  an
     extension of time for the filing of a PAR. 

          The Commissioner finds that the petitioner has failed to comply  with
     the requirements set forth above  and  that  the  PAR  must  therefore  be
     dismissed.

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

          ORDERED, that this Petition for Administrative  Review  be,  and  the
     same hereby is, dismissed.
