Petitioner was assessed a civil fine of $2,500 for “willfully” violating the Rental Housing Act, see D.C.Code § 42-3509.01(b), and ordered to pay treble damages in the amount of $4,914 to Ms. Sheppard for charging excess rent in “bad faith.” See D.C.Code § 42-3509.01(a) (2007 Supp.). Petitioner contends that the evidence in this case did not substantially support a finding of willfulness or of bad faith. For the following reasons we affirm imposition of both sanctions.
