The court properly dismissed the ninth cause of action for retaliatory eviction under Real Property Law § 223-b as untimely based on the related 2008 ejectment action. The relation back doctrine does not save otherwise untimely claims asserted in an independent action (see Davis v Sanseverino, 145 AD3d 519, 520 [1st Dept 2016]). Moreover, the tenants have asserted an affirmative defense for retaliatory eviction in the 2008 action. Finally, the court properly dismissed the tenth cause of action for constructive eviction as it may only be raised defensively, and the plaintiff has not abandoned any portion of the premises (see Fuisz v 6 E. 72nd St. Corp., 222 AD3d 402, 405 [1st Dept 2023]; Minjak Co. v Randolph, 140 AD2d 245, 248 [1st Dept 1988]).
