Synopsis
In this case, petitioner landlord filed a holdover proceeding seeking possession of the premises and a money judgment. The court granted summary judgment in favor of the respondent, dismissing the proceeding due to petitioner's failure to comply with service requirements, specifically in serving the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) as required by the Williams Consent Decree. The court emphasized that proper service on NYCHA was essential, and the failure to do so deprived the court of jurisdiction over NYCHA, rendering the proceeding invalid. As a result, the respondent substantially won the case, and the petition was dismissed.
