Across the nation, millions of renters live in units that fail to meet basic safety and health standards, intensifying an already critical housing shortage. Aging buildings, deferred maintenance, and chronic code violations create environments that endanger tenants while constraining the state’s limited affordable housing supply. Substandard multifamily properties not only threaten residents’ well-being but also strain the local governments responsible for enforcement. Health and safety receivership offers a structured, legal solution to restore these properties efficiently, protecting tenants and preserving housing stock.

Health and safety violations in multifamily housing are not merely regulatory matters—they are lived experiences that impact the well-being of residents across the United States. When multifamily properties fall into disrepair, the consequences reach far beyond code books and inspection reports. Mold, vermin infestations, exposed wiring, structural decay—these are not abstract problems. They affect real people and families in real time.
