Synopsis
The court imposed massive civil penalties of $2,124,845 against the landlord and its principals for their failure to correct 148 open housing violations and for harassing tenants. The landlord failed to comply with multiple court orders to fix the conditions and to participate in pre-trial discovery, and the court found its defenses to be without merit. The court relied on the DHPD website as prima facie evidence of the violations' continued existence. The judgment was entered as a lien against the building. The petition was dismissed against three of the named respondents who were found to have no legal connection to the property.
