The remaining six tenants whose petitions were consolidated in this action are all tenants of Building #3. General issues building-wide included numerous documented code violations: the heat not working for at least three (3) months in the winter, no hot water for weeks on end without warning or repair; and appalling building security issues including tenants having master keys, which allowed access to all apartments. All tenants testified to the buildings' lack of security, since the side and main doors do not have working locks. In fact, a note is posted from management stating that the door does not work and to leave it propped open. Emergency, stairwell, and exterior lights are nonexistent, and the tenants fear for their safety. All tenants in building #3 testified to an infestation of flies, mice, and roaches. Tenants blamed the pest and [*5]insect outbreak on the flooding of common areas and trash overflow throughout the building, coupled with a lack of cleanup and rodent and pest treatments. Shower and tap water is brown and murky. Finally, tenants testified that only one elevator was operable at any given time but even that elevator was often out of service.
