Martin Jacobs for the plaintiff.
William H. Lee (Fredda Hollander with him) for the defendant.
In finding that Brown did not make a good faith offer of settlement, the judge laid stress on the refusal to repair. The record shows that Brown neither made any repairs in response to the demand letter nor investigated the merits of LeClair’s complaints. Indeed, the judge found that “no further repairs were made until the landlord received notice of violations of law from the Housing Inspection Department of the City of Boston.” We see no error in the judge’s conclusion that Brown’s response to LeClair’s c. 93A demand letter was in bad faith. DiMarzo v. American Mut. Ins. Co., 389 Mass. 85, 102 (1983).
