Plaintiff testified that the home’s tap water had a sickening smell that prevented its use for any purpose. Indeed, the water’s stench was so extreme that it made her and her children nauseous, ruined clothes washed in it, and forced them not only to launder clothes, but to bathe and eat, elsewhere. The certified water specialist who first installed the water treatment system at the residence, Bruce Leighton, investigated the situation at defendant’s request and agreed that the water had a “horrible smell,” akin to burnt rotting eggs. Leighton advised defendant that the odor could be corrected by replacing part of the water treatment system; notwithstanding that knowledge and plaintiffs repeated pleas, however, defendant failed to act (cf. Matter of Moskowitz v Jorden, 27 AD3d 305, 306 [2006], lvs dismissed 7 NY3d 771, 783 [2006])- Giving deference to Supreme Court’s assessment of credibility, we conclude that the foregoing amply supports the court’s finding that defendant breached the implied warranty of habitability (see Mayourian v Tanaka, 188 Misc 2d at 279; Kekllas v Saddy, 88 Misc 2d at 1044-1045).
