4 Complaints 1984-2003 • In order to combat deterioration in our housing—which is slow,but can reach a critical point in a building—there must be a strict and vigorous enforcement of the State Sanitary Code and other building and health codes. Experience has shown that the best way for tenants to get this kind of enforcement is to work together through tenant organizations,tenant unions,or simply by working together with other tenants in your building. State and city codes define the"minimum standards of fitness for human habitation"for your apartment and define a landlord's responsibilities for the upkeep and maintenance of his/her building. This Housing Code Checklist is a basic tool for tenants to exercise their rights. How To Use This Checklist You should go through your apartment and the common areas of your building marking down what code requirements are not being met. In a multi-unit building,there are prob- ably similar problems in the other apartments and it is best if the other tenants also use the Checklist to go through their apartments. The next step is making some phone calls or visits to: (1) your local tenant organization to get a fuller understanding of tenants' rights and the benefits of collective action; (2) your landlord, to give him/her notice of the conditions which need correction in your apartment and building;and, (3) your local Housing Inspection Department or Board of Health (usually operating out of your local City Hall) to get an official report listing the code violations in your apartment and building. Getting a housing inspection is not as easy as it should be. Keep trying if the inspector doesn't come and get other tenants from the building to call for inspections also. Have your Checklist prepared for when the inspector comes and make sure to show him/her everything you have checked-off and be sure that he/she writes everything down in his/her report. Knowing and using the State Sanitary Code and the Housing Code Checklist allows tenants to use their other rights: the right to have an inspection, the right to withhold rent,the right to use rent money to repair serious code violations,and the right to bring criminal complaints against your landlord for code violations. Housing laws,though, can be confusing. Call your local tenant organization before trying to enforce any of these rights. The Checklist The column to the right of the code requirement gives the source of that requirement. If only a number is listed the source is the State Sanitary Code. If the source says"ch", then it is from the state statute cited. Conditions That Materially Endanger The Health And Safety Of The Occupants If any of the following violations exist in your apartment (or common areas), they are con- sidered to "materially endanger" the health of you and your family. The presence of any of these violations means that you can legally withhold your rent and that you also have many other rights you can enforce. But before acting,contact your local tenant organization for more details on the legal procedures you must follow. The Housing Code Checklist "tper. :— ` _, d-- 4. iit:_i ; s / yl r • produced by Cambridge Tenants' Organization,Somerville Tenants' Union, City Life (Jamaica Plain) and Cambridge Hatian American Association with the assistance of the Urban Planning Aid Community Group. FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL: Conditions That Are Required To Be Corrected Within Thirty Days Or Less ALL violations of the Sanitary Code becoine conditions that materially endanger the health and safety of the apartment's occupants if the owner does not correct them within the time he/she is ordered to do so by the Board of Health inspector. This time period can never be more than thirty days. Once these conditions become legally "materially endangering", the tenant has the right to withhold his/her rent and has other rights that can be enforced. Your local tenant organization should be contacted for more information before doing anything, though. The following is an up-to-date list of the things your landlord must do, according to state laws and regulations. Unless the condition is one that is considered to "materially endanger"your health (as listed above), your only remedy is to have the housing inspector do his/her job of enforcing the code against your owner. But if the violation is in the"materially endangering" category or becomes one when the owner fails to repair it within the required time you have the remedies discussed above that you (or, better yet, you and other people in your building with similar conditions) can follow. nate Chock Intdlora if knew about violation violation .xim KITCHEN Sink ❑ must be large enough to wash dishes 410.100 ❑ must have proper drainage 410.350A ❑ All sinks,gas and water pipes,gas and oil burning equipment must be maintained 410.351A free from leaks,obstructions,or other defects. ❑ At least one electric light fixture and one wall outlet. 410.251 ❑ Floors must be constructed of smooth,non-corrosive, non-absorbent,and water- 410.504 proof material.

DEPARTMENT OP BUILDING INSPECTIONS 212 Main Street • Municipal Building Northampton, Ma... 01060 October 10, 1984 PV Dear Mr. & Mrs. Hart: In reference to your property located at 4 Florence Road, Northampton, Mass. On Friday October 5, 1984, I went to the above address as requested by the tenant Mr. Joel Stanley, to check the plumbing and gas for code violations. The only thing that I found showed any concern was the connection of the gas piping to the stove in the kitchen. I would recommend this piping to be changed; also I would like to make you aware that all the plumbing and or gas piping must be done by a licensed plumber only and a permit must be obtained from my office before this work is complete.
