Additionally, the Housing Maintenance Code requires the landlord to provide a key lock in the apartment entrance door. (See, Jangla Realty Co. v Gravagna, 112 Misc 2d 642 [Civ Ct, Queens County 1981] [landlord’s failure to repair defective lock after being given notice of defect breaches the warranty of habitability]; see also, 111 E. 88th Partners v Simon, 106 Misc 2d 693 [Civ Ct, NY County 1980].)
