855 charsAs punitive damages are awarded not only to punish the wrongdoer but also to compensate the injured person for the outrage of an egregious injury, to deter future wrongdoing and to induce the aggrieved to seek redress (see 111 East 88th Partners v Simon, supra, at p 697) this court is unmoved by the landlord’s argument that multiple awards of punitive damages would inflict a kind of double jeopardy or overkill. Not only would this court be without jurisdiction to order that the punitive award in Action No. 1 be reallocated to provide shares for these tenants, but such allocation would be inappropriate. Again guided by Judge Gallet’s assessment of the extent of the egregious affront to the tenants, and his award of $25,000 to 20 tenants, or *965$1,250 per apartment, that award is likewise ordered here to each of the three apartments sub judice.
