                ORDER AND OPINION DISMISSING ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL

     The above-named petitioner timely filed an Administrative  Appeal  against
     an order issued on May 30, 1990 by the District Rent Administrator,  92-31
     Union  Hall  Street,   Jamaica,   New   York,   concerning   the   housing
     accommodations known as 29-45 Sickles Street, New York, New York,  Various
     Apartments.

     Subsequent thereto, the petitioner filed a petition in the  Supreme  Court
     pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules requesting that 
     the court direct the Division to determine its administrative appeal.

     The Commissioner notes that by a notice dated May 29, 1991, the owner  and
     the tenants were notified that the Rent  Administrator  had  reopened  the
     proceeding under Docket No. Ch 530099-OM to reconsider the order issued on 
     May 30, 1990.

     In view of the foregoing, the Commissioner is  of  the  opinion  that  the
     owner's administrative appeal against the May 30, 1990 should be dismissed 
     as moot.  Any party aggrieved by  the  superceding  order  will  have  the
     opportunity to file an administrative appeal within thirty-five days after 
     its date of issuance.  The reopened proceeding has  been  assigned  Docket
     No. FE 530026-RK. 

     THEREFORE, in accordance with the provisions  of  the  Rent  and  Eviction
     Regulations for New York City and the Rent Stabilization Law and Code,  it
     is

     ORDERED, that this administrative appeal  be,  and  the  same  hereby  is,
     dismissed.

     ISSUED:
