896 charsIn light of this evidence, and after reviewing the record as a whole, we are unable to determine the basis for the judge's finding that the issues documented by the inspectors in 2016 existed "since the inception of the tenancy." "[N]ot every defect gives rise to a diminution in rental value," McKenna v. Begin, 5 Mass. App. Ct. 304, 308 (1977), and even "the existence of a code violation by itself does not necessarily entitle a tenant to a finding that a material breach of the warranty of habitability has occurred." South Boston Elderly Residences, 91 Mass. App. Ct. at 463-464. The judge did not grapple with the issue of when the defects in the porches became serious enough to rise to the level of a material breach. We therefore remand this claim for further findings and recalculation of damages, including whether multiple damages and attorney's fees are warranted under G. L. c. 93A.
