(c)   The City’s aggressive Housing Code enforcement practices increased
      costs for property owners that rent to low-income tenants. Appellants
      produced at least six affidavits describing the toll that the City’s
      aggressive Housing Code enforcement took on their rental business.
      They reported a substantial increase in costs, resulting in evictions for
      tenants and “forced sales” of their properties in some cases. These
      allegations are corroborated by an internal memorandum from the City’s
      fire marshal in 1995, comparing the Housing Code and the HQS and
      concluding that the Housing Code was more strict in regard to 82% of
      the examined categories.
