Violation Description: This settlement resolvesa lawsuit OAG filed in early 2022to protect tenants at the rent-stabilized Hawaii-Webster Apartments from unsafe and unlawful conditions, and to stop them from being pushed out of their homes by market-rate redevelopment. In its suit, OAG alleged that the property owners were intentionally neglecting the property and forcing tenants to live with hazards like mold, crumbling lead paint, and pervasive infestations of vermin. As a result of the suit, the owners have made significant repairs to the property. Under the terms of the settlement, the property owners, to their credit, will complete renovations and pay $1,000,000 to the District's, the majority of which will be used to provide restitution to tenants.
