32We note that, even where the landlord is not required to
pay for electricity and gas used in a dwelling unit, the State
sanitary code still places the duty on the landlord to install
and maintain the wiring and pipes. See 105 Code Mass. Regs.
§ 410.354(C) (2005). As the sanitary code has the same
objectives and covers the same subject matter, its provisions
should be read in pari materia with the Attorney General's
regulations. See Commonwealth v. J.A., 478 Mass. 385, 387
(2017) (in interpreting statutes, courts may find other statutes
covering same subject instructive). See also Molly A. v.
Commissioner of the Dep't of Mental Retardation, 69 Mass. App.
Ct. 267, 281 (2007).
                                                                    23
