Only a review of the voluminous record in this case gives one an appreciation of the degree to which Temple unabashedly blames the District of Columbia for his current predicament. Individually and through representatives, in letters, motions, memoranda, briefs, and testimony, Temple asserts that his serious violations of the zoning and rental housing laws of the District were occasioned entirely by the District's loss of Kemper Simpson's 1951 Certificate of Occupancy which demonstrated Temple's historic right to use his building as a "non-conforming" five-unit apartment house. Unfortunately for Temple, the factual predicates of his cries of innocence do not withstand scrutiny.
