Excerpt:

"City Attorney Dennis Herrera sued an Excelsior landlord on Tuesday, alleging that the laundromat owner stuck dozens of tenants in cramped, squalid, unsafe subterranean “dungeon” conditions for a decade, charging some of them $1,000/month for roughly 150 square feet of space."

"In another response to the same suit, Mendoza’s attorneys echo the allegation that the tenants themselves were ultimately to blame, accusing them of “carelessness, negligence, and other wrongful conduct.”
