842 charsIn CountV of her Amended Complaint, Karen Dupont has alleged that the Markowskis breached the warranty of habitability, with respect to both the rear common area leading from the street to the apartment and the rear door to the apartment, by their failure to comply with the State Building Code and State Sanitary- Code. More specifically, she alleges that the structural elements of the rear door, including its lock, allowed Bessonette to enter the apartment unimpeded and, once there, to murder the three occupants, including her son, Keith Dupont, Jr. The Markowskis respond that the warranty of habitability extends to tenants only and, therefore, they cannot be liable, in warranty, to the Duponts who were merely lawful guests on the premises at the time in question. For the reasons stated infra, Dupont has the better of the contest.
