Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan has filed a civil lawsuit against landlords Richard and Ronald Goetter, who operated an eight-unit apartment building at 113 S. Main St., Dublin Borough, under the name R & R Enterprises. The suit alleges they subjected tenants to dangerous and squalid conditions for over a decade. Inspections revealed rodent and cockroach infestations, black mold, no functioning heat since 2013, structural hazards, blocked emergency exits, and a porch at risk of collapse — conditions officials described as a "death trap." Despite knowing condemnation was imminent, the brothers made no repairs until the building was finally condemned in April 2026, during which time they continued collecting up to $900 per month in cash rent from tenants. The suit, filed under Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, is reportedly the first of its kind brought by a district attorney's office in the state, and seeks full rent reimbursement for tenants and significant fines against the landlords.
