With respect to Brown’s argument that his prompt — albeit ineffective — response to LeClair’s complaints of insects should be considered in determining the amount of the abatement, it is settled that a landlord’s attempts to repair defective conditions in an apartment have no bearing on the calculation of a rent abatement for the time periods during which the defects persist.
