Synopsis

Plaintiffs, tenants in a rent-stabilized building, alleged harassment and neglect by the landlord and others to force them out. The court denied summary judgment for most claims, including constructive eviction, trespass, nuisance, and harassment, against Prince Holdings and others, indicating factual disputes requiring trial. However, it dismissed certain claims for actual eviction and granted partial summary judgment for tenant Dahl on damages for actual eviction, and for trespass damages against Prince Holdings. Landlord's counterclaims for unpaid rent were denied pending resolution of habitability defenses.
