996 charsIn Park W. Mgt. Corp. v Mitchell (47 NY2d 316, 325 [1979]), *570Chief Judge Cooke noted that section 235-b of the Real Property Law requires the landlord to impliedly warrant: "first, that the premises are fit for human habitation; second, that the condition of the premises is in accord with the uses reasonably intended by the parties; and, third, that the tenants are not subjected to any conditions endangering or detrimental to their life, health or safety.” (Emphasis added.) A breach of the implied warranty of habitability occurs where "in the eyes of a reasonable person, defects in the dwelling deprive the tenant of those essential functions which a residence is expected to provide” (supra, at 328). Housing codes are only a starting point to determine the landlord’s obligation to provide premises fit for human habitation; "[t]hreats to the health and safety of the tenant — not merely violations of the codes — determines the reach of the warranty of habitability” (supra, at 328).
