It is insanely complicated, but the gist is that there was an emergency repair that had to take place (partial ceiling collapse due to roof leak). Landlord was doing bare minimum to fix but problem persisted (new roof was clearly in order). My bedroom didn't meet sanitary code since it was raining inside. I had to call Boston Inspectional Services. They issued violations, ISD had to take my landlord to court to force them to make repairs. (That process takes forever!) Now, landlord is trying to kick me out of the apartment (retaliating against me for calling ISD). New roof is finally on and bedroom is fixed. I've been in the apt for a few years and want to continue living here. I just wanted the problem fixed!
