Synopsis

The tenant's motion to amend the answer and dismiss the nonpayment proceeding was granted. The court found the landlord failed to comply with the Williams Consent Decree by omitting NYCHA's objection from pleadings and improper service. The tenant's breach of warranty of habitability counterclaim for an abatement was granted a hearing, while the order to correct counterclaim was held in abeyance. The proceeding was dismissed without prejudice due to the landlord's non-compliance, allowing the tenant to pursue her counterclaims.
