Samuel Steinberg, as Attorney for 51 West 81st Co., Appellant, v. Juana Carreras et al., Respondents.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
June 12, 1974.
Samuel Steinberg, appellant in person. Daniel Finkelstein for respondents.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
While the trial court, consistent with the authority of Levine v. Ehrenberg (N. Y. L. J., June 11,1973, p. 18, col. 2 [App. Term, 1st Dept.]) was justified, in the circumstances of this case, in finding for tenants on the counterclaims, nevertheless, there was a lack of adequate proof of the reduced value of the apartments as a result of the landlord's failure to supply heat (Borchardt v. Parker, 108 N. Y. S. 585 [App. Term, 1st Dept.]; see, also, 1900-51st St. Corp. v. Dennis, 182 Misc. 127 [App. Term, 2d Dept.]; Jackson v. Paterno, 58 Misc. 201 [App. Term, 1st Dept.], affd. 128 App. Div. 474; Levine v. Ehrenberg, supra).
