GARY SAZER, et al., appellants, v. VERA GRETCHYN MARINO, respondent.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, the provisions thereof which struck all of the allegations in the first cause of action except those which relate to defects in the subject intake grill and flues, and water leaks, are deleted, and that branch of the defendant's motion which was to dismiss the first cause of action is denied in its entirety.

The Supreme Court properly held that the implied warranty of habitability protects against only conditions that materially affect the health and safety of tenants, or deficiencies that in the eyes of a reasonable person deprive a tenant of those reasonable functions that "a residence is expected to provide" ( see, Solow v. Wellner, 86 N.Y.2d 582, 587, quoting Park W. Mgt. Corp. v. Mitchell, 47 N.Y.2d 316, 328, cert denied 444 U.S. 992). It cannot be said, as a matter of law, that the plaintiffs' allegations in the first cause of action of their complaint failed to meet that standard ( see, Concord Vil. Mgt. Co. v. Rubin, 101 Misc.2d 625, 627).

BRACKEN, J.P., KRAUSMAN, GOLDSTEIN, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
