Synopsis

In this HP proceeding, the tenant association successfully moved for partial summary judgment to compel the landlord to correct Housing Maintenance Code violations. The court found no valid defense for the landlord’s vague claims of completed repairs, which lacked supporting evidence. The landlord was ordered to correct the violations as listed in the violation status reports within statutory timeframes, and the motion to dismiss defenses was denied as moot.
