An article on Tuesday about apartment rent increases in New York City mischaracterized a statement by the executive director of the Rent Guidelines Board, Douglas P. Hillstrom, about the findings of the board's staff regarding landlords' costs. While the staff reported that landlord costs had risen 6 percent in the last year, Mr. Hillstrom did not say those findings justified a rent increase; it is up to the board members, not the staff that Mr. Hillstrom heads, to determine what increase is justified.
