17-177. MORRISANIA APARTMENTS, LLC, pet-land-app, v. DEYNA RIVERA, res-tent-res — Order (Steven Weissman, J.), dated June 24, 2016, affirmed, without costs.

Upon review of the trial record, we are satisfied that the trial court properly resolved the rent and habitability issues litigated below, and that a decrease in the amount of the abatement award in tenant’s favor is unwarranted. The credited testimony amply supported the court’s detailed factual findings that tenant was subjected to rodent and vermin infestation, and recurrent leaks. The amount of the habitability abatement for the relevant five-month period was within reasonable limits (see generally Park W. Mgt. Corp. v. Mitchell, 47 NY2d 316 [1979], cert denied 444 US 992 [1979]; Dumbadze v. Saxon Hall Owner, LLC, 93 AD3d 756 [2012]).
