Synopsis
In this HPD-initiated HP action, the court denied the landlord's motion to dismiss the petition as duplicative of a separate tenant-initiated HP action. The court found that the prior tenant-initiated proceeding, which had been settled, does not preclude HPD from commencing a new action when new code violations arise. The court also noted it would not award duplicative civil penalties for the same underlying condition.
