Synopsis
In an HP proceeding, a landlord was held in civil contempt for failing to correct violations, leading to a $240,560 money judgment for civil penalties. The landlord moved to vacate the judgment and HPD's restraining notice. The court denied the motion to vacate the judgment, affirming its validity and rejecting arguments for its modification. However, the court did vacate the restraining notice, finding it **defective** for non-compliance with the notice requirements of **CPLR 5222**, but did so without prejudice. The ruling allows HPD to re-serve a proper notice to enforce the a valid judgment.
