Landlord-Tenant—Bedbugs in NYCHA Apartment—Damages—Warranty of Habitability—Multiple Dwelling Law §80
The plaintiffs commenced an action against the NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA), alleging that based on NYCHA’s negligence, the plaintiffs’ apartment had “never been eradicated of a bedbug infestation condition.” The plaintiffs claim that “the condition began in 2012 and continues to date.” NYCHA admitted that “the apartment has had bedbugs on and off over a period of time, but denies any liability.” A jury trial commenced and continued to verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. At the close of defendant’s case, the plaintiffs moved for a directed verdict on the issue of NYCHA’s liability.
