Synopsis
In an HP action, the court found the landlord failed to correct defective floors in the tenant's apartment as required by a prior order. Despite the landlord's claim of having made repairs, the court determined that the use of wood putty was insufficient and a proper repair required replacing the subfloor and flooring. The court issued a new Order to Correct and scheduled a hearing for the imposition of civil penalties, finding the landlord's non-compliance was a continuous violation of the Housing Maintenance Code.
