Synopsis
Landlord sought to restore a non-payment proceeding and obtain a monetary judgment. Tenant cross-moved to compel discovery. The court denied the landlord's motion to restore as premature and granted the tenant's motion to compel discovery upon finding that tenant had "properly and facially articulated a rent overcharge defense and counterclaim for fraudulent scheme to deregulate." Court adjourned the matter pending completion of discovery.
