Shortly after the decision of RCB on appeal, SMP installed a timer on the hot tub. On May 19, 2009, SMP filed a request with the hearing examiner for a decision on SMP’s compliance with his rent reduction decision, as modified by RCB. Pared down to its core, SMP’s request included a showing that it had installed a timer on the hot tub that would enable tenants to heat the water in an hour so that it could be used between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. as it was prior to SMP’s decision not to heat the hot tub during working hours. As to the sauna, SMP stated it had not returned the timer to its prior one-hour setting because it still had concerns that it was not safe for a person to be in the sauna for more than 15 minutes; SMP indicated it would keep the timer set for one-half hour. On June 26, 2009, the hearing examiner issued a decision finding SMP to be in partial compliance with the rent reduction decision based on its showing that it had installed a timer on the hot tub allowing it to be used by tenants Salvatore and Rosskam as before. The hearing examiner’s compliance decision reinstated the rent that was ordered decreased related to the hot tub, effective June 1, 2009. The $20 rent reduction granted to tenant Salvatore related to the sauna remained in effect.
