Synopsis

In this nonpayment eviction proceeding, the landlord sought to collect rent arrears for a rent-stabilized apartment. The tenant raised defenses, including illegal building alterations and lack of a valid Certificate of Occupancy. The court ruled that the landlord's failure to comply with the Multiple Dwelling Law (MDL) barred rent recovery, leading to the dismissal of the case in favor of the tenant.
