Challenging an Order to Condemn At the same time or any time after a Board of Health determines that a building is unfit for human habitation, it may issue an order to condemn. If the conditions are not too severe, and your landlord has adequate funds, you can ask the judge to order the landlord to make the repairs necessary to avoid condemnation.
If the conditions are not too severe, but the landlord does not have adequate funds, you can ask the judge to appoint a receiver to manage and repair the property. See Receivership. If you are able to get an order that the repairs get made and the apartment not be condemned, you will probably need to leave your apartment for a period of time in order for the repairs to be made.

You may also ask the judge to make an order for a daily allowance to help you pay for food while you are displaced from your apartment.
