Common use of The Authority’s obligations Clause in Contracts

The Authority’s obligations. The Authority agrees to: A. Maintain the premises (and for conventional units, the Development) in a decent, safe and sanitary condition; B. Comply with the requirements of applicable building codes, housing codes, and HUD regulations materially affecting health and safety, including housing quality standards promulgated by HUD (“Housekeeping Standards”); C. Make necessary repairs to the dwelling unit; D. For conventional units, keep the Development’s buildings, facilities and common areas, not otherwise assigned to Tenant for maintenance and upkeep, in a clean and safe condition; E. Maintain in good and safe working order and condition electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and other facilities and appliances supplied or required to be supplied by the Authority; F. Provide and maintain appropriate receptacles and facilities (except containers for the exclusive use of Tenant’s household) for the deposit of garbage, rubbish, and other waste removed from the dwelling unit by Tenant (scattered site units have receptacles provided as part of refuse collection service); G. Supply running water and reasonable amounts of hot water and reasonable amount of heat at appropriate times of the year according to local custom and usage, except where the building that includes the dwelling unit is not required by law to be equipped for that purpose, or where heat and/or hot water is generated by an installation within the exclusive control of Tenant and the utility connection is interrupted by the action or inaction of Tenant, any of the household members or a guest, including failure to arrange or pay for needed utility service; and H. Notify Tenant of the specific grounds for any proposed adverse action by the Authority. An “adverse action” may include, but is not limited to, a proposed lease termination, transfer of the tenant to another unit, or imposition of charges for maintenance and repair, or a late charge fee. When the Authority is required to afford Tenant the opportunity for a hearing under the Authority’s grievance procedure for a grievance concerning a proposed adverse action: 1. The notice of the proposed adverse action shall inform Tenant of the right to request such hearing. In the case of a lease termination, a notice of lease termination that complies with the notice requirements of Section XV shall constitute adequate notice of the proposed adverse action. 2. In the case of a proposed adverse action other than a proposed lease termination, the Authority shall not take the proposed action until time to request such a hearing has expired and (if hearing was timely requested) the grievance process has been completed.
