Although a “condition that ‘may endanger or materially impair the health or safety and well-being of an occupant’. . . is sufficient to violate the warranty of habitability,” Spaulding v. Young, 32 Mass. App. Ct. 624, 627 (1992), not every condition which results in physical injury, such as the improperly installed *450kitchen cabinet in Spaulding, supra, automatically falls within the scope of § 410.023. Rather, the condition must be one which relates to habitability.
