An Appellate Term in the Second Department recently held that "[g]ood faith attempts on the part of the landlord to correct the defective condition are not a defense to a tenant’s claim of breach of implied warranty of habitability.” (Reichick v Matteo, supra.) This court adopts the rule announced in Reichick. Accordingly, if a breach of the warranty of habitability is established, the landlord’s good faith attempts to provide the service or correct the defective condition do not constitute a defense.
