Landlord commenced this nonpayment proceeding seeking rent at the rate of $484 per month from August 2014 through May 2015, for a total of $4,840. Tenant timely answered, asserting a general denial and an affirmative defense of breach of the warranty of habitability. Following a nonjury trial, the Civil Court found that tenant owed $7,905 through December 2015 and that tenant was entitled to an abatement of $2,150, and directed landlord to make certain repairs by December 31, 2015. The court awarded landlord a final judgment of possession and the sum of $5,755, with the issuance of a warrant stayed for five days.
