Synopsis
Plaintiff, the tenant, sought relief from a fire-related dispute involving a breach of contract, negligence, and other claims against both the cooperative and the lender. The court dismissed the case, ruling that the claims were time-barred and failing to establish a cause of action for breach of contract, negligence, or fiduciary duty. The landlord and lender were acting within their contractual rights, and the tenant’s failure to maintain insurance and comply with lease obligations led to the dismissal of the claims.
