"We find ourselves in court with families and landlords who have all kinds of problems," said Judy Frydland, a city attorney who has worked on lead cases for 25 years. "If that means a lot of continuances and holding their hands through the process, we'll do that. If they are going to (fix) one room at a time or one window at a time, so be it. We are not going to kick people out of their homes."
