The BHA Mediation Program may refuse to facilitate mediation in some cases. In particular, cases involving violations of M.G.L. Ch. 139 s 19 may be excluded. This includes residents who use their apartment for prostitution, assignation, lewdness, illegal gaming, the illegal keeping or sale of alcoholic beverages, the illegal keeping, sale or manufacture of controlled substances, the illegal keeping of a weapon or incendiary devices. In addition, the commission of a criminal act involving the use or threatened use of force or violence, against a BHA employee, resident or anyone lawfully on BHA property will be grounds for exclusion. Cases involving domestic violence between residents will also be excluded.
