Synopsis
In a holdover breach of lease proceeding, the City of New York sought possession of premises leased to Elizabeth Street, Inc. The court ruled in favor of the City, awarding possession of the premises and a money judgment against Elizabeth Street, Inc. The decision was based on the termination of a month-to-month lease and the City's plans to develop the premises for affordable housing. The court granted a stay of eviction for four months, citing the need for salvage and pre-development work.
