Synopsis
Handwritten opinion. The court dismissed the holdover proceeding due to a defective predicate notice that failed to comply with GCEL, despite being dated March 10, 2024. Citing 1303 Needham Realty LLC v. Brown, the court applied GCEL’s requirements to proceedings commenced after April 20, 2024. Judge Arrindell held that GCEL's notice provisions became effective August 18, 2024, and there was no exemption for predicate notices served before April 20, 2024. The court, relying on Chinatown Apts. v. Chu Cho Lam, deemed the defect unamendable and denied the petitioner’s request for adjournment. Judge Arrindell’s ruling aligned with prior judicial notes, reinforcing that noncompliant notices invalidate proceedings under GCEL.
