Synopsis
The landlord challenged the tenant's succession rights to a Mitchell-Lama apartment. The tenant argued that he resided with his brother in the apartment for at least one year prior to the brother's death. The court found that the tenant failed to provide sufficient documentation to establish primary residency. The court upheld the landlord's denial of the succession rights application.
