        Mr. Ghaida argues that the tenant accepted the property in “as-is” condition.
We concur with the trial court that such purported agreements do not absolve the
landlord of responsibility for complying with the housing regulations. See Javins v.
First Nat’l Realty Corp., 428 F.2d 1071, 1081-82 (D.C. Cir. 1970) (“The duties
imposed by the Housing Regulations may not be waived or shifted by agreement if
the Regulations specifically place the duty upon the lessor.”).
