Synopsis
In this nonpayment proceeding involving a rent-stabilized apartment, court grants landlord's motion to reargue and adheres to its prior decision ordering discovery. Though landlord's motion was filed more than 30 days after service of the notice of entry, court exercises discretion to hear it, finding no prejudice to tenant. On the merits, court upholds its prior discovery order requiring landlord to produce rent registration history, citing unexplained increases — including a jump from $559.07 to $1,300 attributed only to a vacancy lease — and a longevity increase lacking documentation.
