Haddad argues that the judge erred in refusing to recuse himself. In support of his claim of bias, Haddad cites several comments from the record of the Rivera trial, see supra note 5, which ended six months prior to the trial in this case.[6] Haddad cites excerpts from the Housing Court judge's decisions *861 in both the Rivera and Gonzalez cases, as well as the findings from the view the judge took of Gonzalez's apartment, as further evidence of disqualifying bias.[7] Haddad argues that the judge's statements and comments reflect long-standing personal animosity toward Haddad, and that the judge should have disqualified himself under S.J.C. Rule 3:09, Canon 3 (C) (1) (a), 386 Mass. 811 (1981).
