Synopsis

In this non-payment action concerning condominium common charges, the plaintiff, Board of Managers for Crotona Towers Condominium, initiated proceedings via an order to show cause. However, crucial initial filing requirements, including a complaint and proper service, were not fulfilled, leading to a motion by defendants to dismiss. The court determined that without proper commencement via a summons and complaint, personal jurisdiction over defendants was lacking, thereby granting the dismissal motion. This case underscores the procedural necessity of filing and serving required initial documents to establish a valid legal action.
