The parties have not referred to, and the court is unaware of any reported decision in this department which holds that good faith of the landlord is, or is not, a valid defense to a breach of warranty claim. In Goldner v Doknovitch (88 Misc 2d 88), the Appellate Term did hold that tenants were entitled to an offset for a reduction of services during a 17-day strike of Local 32B of the Building Service Employee International Union, since tenants need not pay for services they did not receive. However, the court noted (p 90) that the "[l]andlord was not an innocent victim of the subject strike; he was a participant in the dispute.”
