Among other things, real parties based their petitions for rent decreases on the existence of defective built-in appliances, a defective elevator, defective plumbing, heating and electrical wiring, defective outside lights, insect infestation, broken windows and doors and gas leaks. Following three days of hearings on the consolidated petitions, respondent's hearing examiner rendered a decision on May 25, 1983, authorizing real parties prospectively to pay lower rents as a result of petitioner's failure to provide services and to maintain individual units and common areas in a habitable condition or in accord with housing, health and safety codes. The decision permitted petitioner to eliminate the decreases, restoring rents to their former level, upon proof of correction of the conditions leading to the decreases.
