Synopsis

This HP action involves a vacate order due to building disrepair. The landlords sought an extension to complete necessary repairs and avoid civil penalties. Petitioners argued that the landlords had delayed filing permits, exacerbating the delay in repairs. The court granted the landlords' motion for an extension to complete the work by June 30, 2024. The parties will have a hearing to determine if penalties should be imposed for failure to meet the deadline. The case highlights the complexities of compliance with city building regulations and consent orders.
