With regard to damages, appellant claimed that the lack of heat rendered the apartment uninhabitable during the colder months of the year. Appellant also claimed that the absence of heat in the gallery caused lost profits and increased utility bills. He also testified that at one point, pipes in the gallery froze due to the lack of heat, resulting in flooding of the gallery and extensive damage to the works of art on display. In support of this claim, appellant introduced into evidence a list of art objects sustaining damage. This list, prepared at the time of the flood, assigned monetary values to the damaged items totaling $78,500. Lastly, appellant sought abatement of a portion of the rent on the gallery, and return of his security deposit, and a rent payment for January 1979.
