(b) Upon receipt of the materials, each affected tenant shall be sent a copy of the landlord's
statement on the need for eviction and a letter explaining the applicable law and procedures
and requesting optional written comments from the tenant about the landlord's proposed
action.
(c) The premises shall be inspected, the tenant's comments and the landlord's statement
shall be assessed and, where applicable, the Department of Community Affairs shall consult
with the local inspection agency. On the basis of this information, a conclusion as to the
feasibility of achieving compliance through elimination of the violations without removal of
the tenant shall be reached by the Department of Community Affairs within 60 days of its
receipt of the original notice from the landlord. Notice of this conclusion shall be given to the
Court having jurisdiction, the appropriate relocation agency, the landlord, the affected
tenants and the local inspection agency within 90 days of receipt of the landlord's notice.
(d) If it is concluded by the Department of Community Affairs that it is feasible to effect
compliance without removal of the tenants, the notice shall so advise the court and further
shall advise the tenant that, should he fail to appear in court to contest the eviction, he may
very likely be subject to a default judgment and eviction.
(e) The notice of the Department's conclusion shall include the name, address and
telephone number of the appropriate relocation agency.
(f) The name and address of the tenants, any tenant comments, and any explanatory letter
shall be enclosed with the notice of the Department's conclusion to the Court.
