Synopsis
Handwritten opinion. In a nonpayment proceeding, the court dismissed the landlord's petition, ruling that the existence of three open Department of Buildings (DOB) violations for illegal subdivision of an apartment barred the landlord from collecting rent under Multiple Dwelling Law § 302. The court found the landlord's claim of remediation unpersuasive, stating that it was incumbent upon the landlord to resolve the open violations with DOB.
