Respondent's second counterclaim is for the repairs and services for which respondent paid during his brief possession of the premises. During the course of the presentation of his case, the respondent testified to and entered into evidence documentary proof that he made and paid for certain repairs. They included a bill for repair and relighting of the pilot light for the heating unit: $86.94, and the installation of new gutters: $575.00. The respondent as well as his witness, a Mr. Frank Balko, of WeBuild Inc. (WeBuild), a construction firm admittedly unlicenced in Nassau County, testified that WeBuild sent two men to the premises for six or seven day to perform certain services. These included: 1. Hallway bathrooms - reattach vanities to wall and reseal, caulking at tub and clean marble and re-grout, 2. Master Bathroom - Reattach vanity, seal vanity, clean and re-grout marble, 3. Powder room - reattach sink, clean and re-grout marble, 4. First Floor entrance - clean and re-grout marble, 5. Kitchen - clean and re-grout marble, 6. Living Room - Seal gap at front window, and, 7. Front yard - Re-attach fence and clean rubbish (remove approximately 150 30 gallon bags of trash). Respondent admitted, however, that although he was billed $2,250.00 for these services from this unlicenced contractor, he had not yet paid for them.
