Let me guess, the south bay city in question was Long Beach. Even if not, "negligent about something and refused to take any responsibility for a problem that it caused" could be a motto for Long Beach city government, where corruption would at least make more sense than believing people can be that incompetent. Ask any tenant rights attorney and they'll tell you Long Beach code enforcement is sketchy AF.
I can neither confirm nor deny that...but I will tell you that I lived in Long Beach for two years (unrelated to working for Boss Lady) and what you get out of the city rather seems to depend on what part of Long Beach you call home. I lived in one of the wealthier and whiter parts and never had any trouble myself, but I heard some horror stories.

Yes, I have noticed that discrepancy - especially living in a predominantly POC and predominantly renter neighborhood.
