In a previous proceeding in this court brought against 20 other tenants of the same building (111 East 88th Partners v Simon, 106 Misc 2d 693) (hereinafter Action No. 1) a determination was made, after a 17-day trial at which 34 *961witnesses testified, that this landlord had willfully and maliciously breached the warranty of habitability by causing the building’s services to deteriorate and by withholding services from all the tenants in the building. Among the services found to have been curtailed by this landlord were heat and hot water, passenger elevator services, buildingwide garbage collection and disposal, and building security (due to a failure to repair a broken lock on the building’s main entrance).
