The mere fact that damages sustained by a tenant in a breach of the warranty of habitability situation are not susceptible to precise determination does not preclude liability on the part of a landlord for the breach. (Park West *165Mgt. Corp. v Mitchell, 47 NY2d 316, cert den 444 US 992, supra; McGuiness v Jakubiak, 106 Misc 2d 317.) However, a deficiency in the evidence will affect the amount of rent abatement given or damages awarded. (Goldner v Doknovitch, 88 Misc 2d 88.)
