Two deviations from this analysis should be noted. First, New York has adopted a policy of strict liability for breach of warranty of habitability, without regard to notice. See Park West Management Corp. v. Mitchell, 47 N.Y.2d 316, 391 N.E.2d 1288, 418 N.Y.S.2d 310, cert. denied, 444 U.S. 992, 100 S.Ct. 523, 62 L.Ed.2d 421 (1979) (abatement); Kaplan v. Coulston, 85 Misc.2d 745, 381 N.Y.S.2d 634 (Civ.Ct.1976) (injury); see also Krennerich v. WCG Investment Corp., 278 So.2d 842, 845 (La.App.1973). That is too harsh, as I see it.
