Respondents’ answer asserted three “counterclaims”. It asserted first that the proceeding was brought in retaliation for Kaplan’s commencement of a Supreme Court action against landlord to recover damages for personal injuries that Kaplan suffered when the stove in the apartment exploded. It further asserted that landlord had at various times subsequent to Kaplan’s commencement of the personal injuries action turned off the heat, hot water and electricity. Finally, the answer asserted the existence of certain code violations including, inter alia, that a key to the door lock was needed for egress and that landlord’s operation of a business in the basement gave rise to a fire hazard.
