BAY PARK ONE COMPANY, Appellant, v. DAVE CROSBY, Respondent

MEMORANDUM.

Final judgment unanimously reversed, without costs, and matter remanded to the court below for a new trial.

A tenant is not entitled to recover consequential damages for a landlord's breach of the implied warranty of habitability (see Curry v New York City Housing Auth., 77 A.D.2d 534). The measure of damages for such a breach is the difference between the fair market value of the premises if they had been as warranted, or measured by the rent reserved under the lease, and the value of the premises during the period of the breach (see Park West Mgt. Corp. v Mitchell, 47 N.Y.2d 316, cert den 444 U.S. 992). In addition, where the lease so provides, a landlord is entitled to recover from the tenant, as additional rent, legal expenses incurred in the prosecution of a summary proceeding (1 Rasch, New York Landlord and Tenant [2d ed], § 358).

Concur: BUSCHMANN, HIRSCH and KUNZEMAN, JJ.
