Synopsis

In a holdover based on nuisance, the court dismissed the landlord's petition because the lease lacked a conditional limitation, which is a statutory prerequisite for a summary eviction proceeding under RPAPL Article 7. The court reasoned that the Rent Stabilization Code restricts, but does not create, grounds for summary eviction. The court also noted that the landlord failed to comply with a contractual lease provision requiring a 30-day notice of default, thereby providing a second basis for dismissal.
