935 charsOther than initiating and obtaining redress by an unenforceable fine against the contemptuous abandoning owner, providing minimal emergency services and acceptance of a conditional administrator appointment, the HPD denies any further statutory duty to do anything to ensure code compliance and decent living conditions. The tenants urge that a mandatory duty is imposed upon the city, through HPD, to exercise one or more of the various statutory remedies available to enforce code compliance and to maintain habitable housing in occupied but owner-abandoned multiple dwellings. In effect, the tenants contend that habitable housing is a tenant’s right and must be provided by the owner or the city. The HPD takes an opposite position and views its powers of implementation of code enforcement and choice of remedies as discretionary and disclaims therefore, any duty to maintain uninhabitable privately owned abandoned buildings.
