(b) Direct investigation of the facts, including inspections, hold conferences, and require the filing of reports, evidence, affidavits or other material relevant to the proceeding.
(c) Forward to or make available for inspection by either party, any relevant evidence except where protected by privilege, and afford an opportunity to file rebuttal thereto.

(f) Forward to either party a notice of action proposed to be taken.
(g) On his own motion or upon application of any affected owner or tenant, direct the consolidation of proceedings which have at least one ground in common, or which are applicable to the same building or group of buildings or development, notwithstanding that the housing accommodations affected may be subject to differing regulations; and in any such consolidated proceedings, the determination with respect to any housing accommodation shall be made in accordance with the appropriate law or regulation applicable to such accommodations. Proceedings may be severed subsequent to consolidation for good cause shown.
