Assuming as the parties do that use of the deck is a housing service, how are we to reconcile the tenant’s right to continued deck use with its right to have repairs and maintenance on the rental unit? Both of these items fall within the housing services which must be maintained at an uninterrupted level, lest the landlord be exposed to a rent reduction order. Nothing in the ordinance itself indicates a legislative preference for one type of housing service over another. By considering the overall purpose of the rent control ordinance, however, we conclude that the ordinance was not intended to be applied as it was by the Board.
