Though similar to the case at bar, Elkman simply stands for the proposition that a landlord may bring an indemnification claim when he or she has been sued for breach of warranty of habitability. Indemnification still rests on whether “the *367landlord’s fault contributed to the alleged noxious condition of the apartment” (id.). Moreover what distinguishes this case from Elkman, is that it involves a condominium and not just a rental apartment. We have specifically noted this distinction and its effect on the statutory warranty, holding that “[t]he warranty of habitability (Real Property Law § 235-b) does not apply to an individual unit within a condominium” (Matter of Abbady [Mailman], 216 AD2d 115 [1995]).
