383 Mass. 95, 97-98 (1981); W. Prosser, Torts § 41, at 237 (4th ed. 1971). Further, a section of the State Sanitary Code (received in evidence), provides that apartments must be watertight. 105 Code Mass. Regs. § 410.000 (1978). In light of our decisions holding landlords responsible for injuries resulting from breaches of sanitary code provisions, Gem’s behavior was a sufficiently “proximate” cause to justify the imposition of liability. W. Prosser, supra at 244. Crowell, supra at 450-452.
