Landlord v. Tenant: March 2021
BUILDING VIOLATIONS
Court Conducts Virtual Inspection of Tenant’s Apartment
Tenant sued landlord in housing court, claiming various apartment conditions required repair. HPD inspected the unit and issued violations. Landlord agreed to abate the violations and agreed upon access dates. Tenant later claimed that conditions originally alleged persisted, while landlord claimed that they were repaired. Reinspection by HPD left questions unresolved.
