Synopsis
Court dismissed holdover petition because landlord's GCEL notice under RPL § 231-c was defective: it indicated the apartment is exempt from GCEL but failed to check the applicable exemption provision box, instead checking the nonpayment box. As predicate notices are unamendable and the defective notice hindered respondent's ability to defend, the proceeding is dismissed.
