The apartment was subject to rent control under c. 15 of the Ordinances of the City of Boston (1975) (Ordinance). When Young purchased the property he was unaware that it was subject to rent control. That mistaken belief was based upon his residency on the premises and the representations of the seller and Young’s attorney. The judge concluded that a rent overcharge of $30 a month occurred from January 1, 1983, until January 19, 1984, the date the mother’s interest was transferred to Young and the unit automatically became qualified for an owner-occupant exemption. See c. 15, § 1(e) (ii) of the Ordinance. A. Failure to Provide Utilities.
