Synopsis
The landlord, a foreign entity, initiated a holdover proceeding to recover possession of the premises. However, the tenant successfully moved to dismiss the case, arguing that the landlord lacked standing due to its failure to obtain the necessary Certificate of Authority from the Department of State to conduct business in New York State. Despite the landlord's claim of curing the defect, the court ruled in favor of the tenant, emphasizing compliance with statutory requirements for maintaining legal actions in the state.
