All these arguments can be disposed of summarily. For all the reasons stated in Part IIA, supra, we do not credit Temple with tenacious efforts to comply with the law nor do we find that government error caused his nonregistration. Furthermore, treble damages have often been imposed for failure to comply with the registration requirement (which is at the heart of the rent stabilization program), e.g., Revithes v. District of Columbia Rental Housing Commission, supra, and despite tenants' full use of their units. E.g., Quality Management, Inc. v. District of Columbia Rental Housing Commission, 505 A.2d 73 (D.C.1986). Thus, Temple's arguments are unpersuasive.
