we are persuaded by Dorchester’s notice argument. Because it appears that Dorchester was not on notice that more than its self-certification of a pre-petition inspection would be required, or that it might need to demonstrate Dor-chester House’s substantial compliance with the housing code in some other way, we conclude that this matter must be remanded so that Dorchester may have an opportunity to present evidence as to Dor-chester House’s (presumptive or actual) substantial compliance with the housing code. This remedy is consistent with the approach that the RHC has taken in other cases to avoid prejudice to housing providers from inconsistent enforcement of the rules and policies governing rent ceiling adjustment petitions. 22
