Synopsis
The tenant, seeking repair orders and alleging harassment by the landlord, failed to serve a required notice of claim, leading to the dismissal of the harassment claim. Despite the tenant’s detailed allegations of landlord misconduct and unsafe living conditions, compliance with Public Housing Law §157(1) was necessary for proceeding with claims for monetary damages. The court, therefore, dismissed the harassment claim without assessing its merits, as the procedural prerequisite was unmet.
