In addition to abating the rent due to this landlord by 55% for several months and 27% for the balance of the period in question, the Civil Court in Action No. 1 found that there had been a “wanton disregard of the health and safety of these tenants by this landlord” (111 East 88th Partners v Simon, supra, at p 696) and it awarded punitive damages to the tenants (p 698) “to be allocated *** in proportion to their rents.” In part this was due to the finding that the landlord had installed “lugs” on the heater with the intent of illegally limiting heat and hot water.
