The Corporation Counsel may, based on section 502 of the Act, petition the Superior Court to appoint a receiver of the rents and payments for use and occupancy of the affected rental housing accommodation.
A majority of the tenants in the rental housing accommodation may, based on section 502 of the Act, submit a written request to the Corporation Counsel requesting the Corporation Counsel to petition the Superior Court for a receiver.
If the Corporation Counsel denies the request or fails to file a petition within five (5) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, after receiving a request, the requestor may file a petition with the Superior Court for the appointment of a receiver.
