The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office has amended its civil lawsuit against brothers Richard and Ronald Goetter and their company R&R Enterprises over their condemned boarding house at 113 S. Main St. in Dublin Borough, adding four more former tenants to the case. The suit — the first time the DA has used Pennsylvania's Consumer Protection Law against a landlord — alleges the Goetters kept renting rooms while ignoring health and safety requirements and official repair orders for over a decade, with documented conditions including no functioning heat since 2013, only one working bathroom with black mold and sewage odor, bedbug and rodent infestations, a single smoke detector, and a dangerous porch held up by broomsticks, cardboard and a rock. Of the nine tenants represented, at least three are 60 or older, one is an amputee, and two are a mother and child. The DA is seeking a permanent injunction, restitution and civil penalties of up to $3,000 per violation. Former tenants can report their experiences to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office at 215-348-6344.
