Nine apartment complexes in Prince George’s County inspected after complaints of no AC

According to Prince George’s County, when they find a complex is “in complex”, this means they are in line with the housing code requirements.

Coming into compliance may not mean that repairs are already made, according to the county, but it may mean that steps have been taken to mitigate the negative impact caused by failures while repairs are underway.

A spokesperson said HVAC repairs are sometimes complicated, because parts may need to be ordered, contractors may need to be hired, etc., so it may take some time to get the repairs completed.

Providing temporary cooling or heating equipment to residents while the main systems are in the process of being repaired brings the property into compliance, according to the county, during a reasonable compliance response window allowed by DPIE.
