Landlord Must Replace Electric, Water, and Waste Systems

May 31, 2011

LVT Number: #23414

Landlord asked the court to vacate an HPD correction order, which directed landlord to replace the building's electric system and water supply and waste lines. HPD argued that its order was reasonable. Landlord participated in HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program. Landlord sought release from the program, claiming that it had corrected more than 80 percent of cited violations. But HPD argued that extensive violations still existed, resulting in its correction notice. The court ruled for HPD, finding a reasonable basis for the issuance of its correction order.
