The Hamiltons allege that AvalonBay violated the state Sanitary Code and G.L.c. Ill, section 127L by its failure to make adequate repairs. Judgment must enter for AvalonBay on these counts because “the violation of a safety statute or ordinance does not in itself give rise to a cause of action, but is evidence of negligence.” See Dolan v. Suffolk Franklin Savings Bank, 355 Mass. 665, 667 (1969). Count IV
