WORKSHOP: CITY AND STATE LAWS BEHIND CODE ENFORCEMENT
What all tenant advocates should know

The proper enforcement of the laws that are meant to protect housing
standards in NYC is a primary concern for tenant organizers and advocates.
What are these laws and how can a tenant advocate use them most effectively?

This workshop will provide a basic overview of what all advocates who work
with tenants to improve building conditions and services need to know. How,
for example, is the right to organize protected by law? What is the
Warranty of Habitability and how can it be enforced? What is a "rent
impairing violation?" What is the legislative basis of "repair and
deduct?" What special circumstances re: code enforcement should be
considered in buildings affected by mortgage foreclosures?

Date: Thursday, March 9, 2000
Time: 3:15 to 5:15 p.m.
Location: 305 7th Avenue (bet. 27th & 28th St),
7th floor Conference Room (office of Services for the Underserved).
How: Take 1 or 9 to 28th Street Station.

Presented by David Robinson, Senior Staff Attorney, The Legal Support
Unit of Legal Services for New York City, and ANHD Board member.

ANHD Members: Free -- Non Members: $25.00

So, you might ask, as I did, what is ANDH?
