From the DC Office of the Attorney General:
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced successful outcomes in two separate appellate cases in which the District sought to hold landlords and developers accountable for harm they caused to DC residents.

In another case, OAG won a decision upholding the validity of rent refunds for 2,500 tenants at Marbury Plaza (now re-named Langston Views), a Ward 8 apartment building where landlords severely neglected the building, endangered residents, and refused to make court-ordered repairs.
