The special magistrate found that a tenant’s unit at Central Court Apartments (unit reported by renter Edna Seno) continues to experience water leakage and associated damage and entered adjudication with an abatement deadline of 30 days and a $450 daily fine if repairs are not completed.

Neighborhood service inspector Janice Sanders testified she first observed visible water on the floor and damaged baseboards and that although visible repairs were made, the unit continued to leak during heavy rains. Sanders said the property submitted permit applications for related repair work but that the unit still showed leakage as of her most recent reinspection; she said she had posted a notice and mailed certified notice.

Tenant Edna Seno testified through an interpreter that the repairs appeared to be superficial and that the unit continued to have mold problems and ongoing leaks; she said the household planned to move because of persistent problems. The magistrate said, “I find good notice given proper notice. Owners have failed to appear. Hereby find in favor of the city entering adjudication,” and set the 30‑day abatement with a $450 daily fine if unresolved.

A separate condominium case involving an alleged mold problem in unit 1142 was also heard and the magistrate entered adjudication with a 30‑day abatement and a daily fine amount indicated in the record; owners were ordered to submit repair documentation.
