HUD official with bench warrant over housing code violations
Kenneth F. Holbert, a Department of Housing and Urban Development official, faces a District of Columbia Superior Court bench warrant issued last Oct 28 for failing to appear at a status hearing. The warrant orders U.S. marshals to arrest him on charges of failing to provide hot water to tenants in a building he owned in Washington, D.C. from 1982 to 1983. Holbert, 59, an attorney, earned $66,000 yearly and later sold the property in February 1984. He has a history of housing violations and rent overcharges dating back to 1980, with prior examiners finding significant code violations and inadequate tenant services. He acknowledged past problems and stated he had stepped back from day-to-day management after appointing an agent.
