In this case, however, the RHC articulated in its decision that ''willful” means merely that the person intended to do the action that constitutes the violation, not necessarily that the person was conscious of the fact that it was a violation. Imposition of a fine in this case was an abuse of discretion even under the standard of culpability RHC applied here because the examiner made no finding that the landlord knew or should have known that the restoration of heat was not prompt, nor is it obvious on this record that it was not.
