Oldest Open LLT Cases — District 1

Landlord-Tenant cases only (blank RecordTypeDesc, Emergency, or LandLord/Tenant). Record numbers link directly to the SDCI public portal. These LLT cases have been open the longest with no documented resolution.

Note on category labels: SDCI record categories (Blank, Construction, Emergency, etc.) reflect SDCI's own classification at intake, not the underlying complaint content. Due to how SDCI categorizes records, tenant-related complaints -- habitability, utilities, access, illegal eviction -- may appear under Blank, Construction, or other non-LLT categories. This table applies the LLT filter rule (blank + Emergency + LandLord/Tenant type), but a full picture of tenant impact at any address would require manually reviewing each case in the SDCI services portal. The pattern of recurrence and the absence of resolution is itself the documented finding.
