In 1999, we monitored the HP Part (the court rooms for repairs cases) and issued a report “No Rainbow, No Gold.” This report scrutinized the timeliness of the repairs process in the HP Part as well as examined whether or not, ethnicity and class had a correlating impact upon the speed of repairs.The data “suggest[s] that the court is very often an ineffectual and laggardly force for promoting housing improvements” and further that “a disturbing relationship [exists] between poverty status of the tenant and the length of time it takes to get an inspection.”
