Synopsis
The case involves a Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) proceeding initiated to address violations of the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) and seek civil penalties. After multiple hearings and stipulations, including Consent Orders to Correct (OTC) overseen by Judge Clinton Guthrie, the court found respondents in contempt for non-compliance with the OTCs. The judgment joined additional parties, discontinued the case against one respondent, awarded civil penalties, and ordered a new OTC. The decision highlighted the necessity of compliance with court orders and the consequences of failing to address housing code violations, underscoring the landlord's responsibility to maintain properties in accordance with the law.
