Synopsis

In a holdover-Non-primary residence case, landlord 479 Hicks St. LLC sought to remove tenant from an apartment, alleging she was not the primary resident. The court initially dismissed the action due to the landlord's failure to comply with statutory notice requirements under 9 NYCRR 2204.3, even after granting re-argument to correct procedural errors. This case underscores the importance of strict adherence to procedural rules in holdover proceedings, impacting a landlord's ability to maintain eviction actions based on non-primary residence without proper notice to regulatory authorities.
