Vaughan argues that evidence of the violations was competent evidence of her damages so that no separate evidence of damages was required. She contends that this is particularly true where, as here, a tenant appears without counsel. On July 19, 1996, the Town of Weymouth Board of Health sent Clegg a letter listing the following Sanitary Code Violations: failure to provide access to the cellar fuse box; failure to install lighting and a separate switch for the upstairs apartment; bulbs missing from the rear stairway, bottom apartment; lack of lighting of the stairs in the rear of the unit; a damaged wall and delaminated wall covering in the front bedroom; and a possible leak under the window. At trial, Vaughan introduced into evidence a certified copy of the Board of Health report listing these violations but did not present any separate evidence of damages.
