Massachusetts State Building Code Commission.
Agency history record.
The State Building Code Commission (its official name), was
established within the Dept. of Community Affairs by St 1972,
c 802, replacing the Board of Standards of the Dept. of Public
Safety, abolished as of 1973 (ss 5, 72). The commission was
charged with adopting and promulgating a state building code.
It was to hold hearings, study laws relating to building
construction, safety, and energy conservation; and review
interpretations of the state building code.
In addition the commission served as the State Building
Code Appeals Board, hearing grievances and considering appeals
made against state and local agencies charged with enforcement
of the state building code.
The commission was abolished by St 1984, c 348, s 2
(repealing MGLA c 23B, ss 16-23), which transferred its powers
and duties to a State Board of Building Regulations and
Standards in the Executive Office of Public Safety.

Boston Housing Authority.
Agency history record.
The Boston Housing Authority (BHA) was established by order
of the Boston City Council on Oct. 1, 1935, pursuant to St
1935, c 449, s 5, which empowered cities and towns of
Massachusetts to establish housing authorities. Such a body
is responsible for providing decent, safe, and sanitary
housing for families unable to afford housing without public
subsidy and for clearing substandard, decadent, or blighted
open areas under the provisions of MGLA c 121B. To carry out
these responsibilities BHA develops and manages housing
projects and leases housing when necessary. It also performed
the functions of an urban redevelopment authority until such a
body was established separately pursuant to St 1957, c 150.
Housing authorities in Massachusetts are "bodies public and
corporate" in that although they are created and their members
appointed by a combination of municipal and state officials,
once established they are managed, controlled, and governed by
their members. Generally the authority's board of
commissioners sets overall policy while the administrator and
staff make recommendations to the board and carry out its
daily operations. The autonomy of housing authorities,
including BHA, is limited by the fact that their operations
are funded and regulated by two supervisory agencies: the U.S.
Dept. of Housing and Urban Development for federally-assisted
housing and the Massachusetts Dept. of Community Affairs for
state-assisted housing.
The management and governance of BHA has deviated from that
of other housing authorities since 1975, when BHA was sued in
Boston City Housing Court by a group of BHA tenants,
represented by Greater Boston Legal Services, over poor
conditions in housing projects under the authority's control.
As the result of a ruling in favor of the tenants, a
court-appointed master prepared a report listing
recommendations that provided the basis for a consent decree
signed in 1977 by BHA, Greater Boston Legal Services, and the
Boston Public Housing Tenants Policy Council. The decree
detailed a series of improvements that BHA was to make over
the course of three years. The master, responsible for
monitoring BHA's compliance with the consent decree, gave
approval for all major decisions made by the BHA board and
administrator. In 1979 the judge ruled that BHA had failed
satisfactorily to fulfill the terms of the consent decree and
BHA was placed in receivership, with its board of
commissioners and administrator being replaced by a
court-appointed receiver. Since 1990, when the receivership
ended, BHA has been directed by an administrator whose
activities are reviewed by a nine-member monitoring committee
appointed by the mayor of Boston.
