The court does not dispute that the evidence reasonably established that the defendant in good faith requested the plaintiff to unclog his bathtub drain. The court does not, however, deem this action a “repair” sufficient to raise the presumption because it was not of the type or substance contemplated by the legislature. A research of the archives for the legislative intent of § 47a-20 as pertains to the issue of “repairs” is barren. Legislative comment supports the conclusion that the intent in enacting §47a-20 was primarily to protect the tenant who has complained to a civil authority about a housing code violation. Strong evidence as to the quality of housing code violations may be found in the statement of Representative Richard D. Tulisano (a principal supporter of this legislation) to the General Assembly on May 25, 1976. In urging passage, he exhorted that “the reason for this legislation is that this state is facing a housing blight. We are attempting, and this is a first step, to stop urban decay and prevent decay in the suburbs in the future.” 19 H.R. Proc., Pt. 3, 1976 Sess., p. 897. *267 In Robinson v.
