the nature of the deficiency or defect[;] its effect on the life, health or
        safety of the tenant[;] length of time it has persisted[;] and the age of the
        structure. Minor housing code violations which do not affect habitability
        will be considered de minimis. Also, the violation must affect the tenant’s
        dwelling unit or the common areas which he uses. The tenant is under an
        obligation to give the landlord notice of the deficiency or defect not
        known to the landlord and to allow a reasonable time for its correction.
        The contract principle that a person may not benefit from his own wrong
        will exonerate a landlord for a defect or deficiency caused by a tenant’s
        wrongful conduct. Id. at 76.
