Synopsis

In this holdover proceeding alleging the tenant's objectionable conduct due to noxious odors, the tenant filed a multi-part motion. The court denied the tenant's motion to dismiss, finding the landlord's predicate notices sufficiently particular regarding the nature and dates of the alleged odors. However, the court largely granted the tenant's motion to compel a bill of particulars, holding that identifying information of complaining tenants constituted amplification of the landlord's claims. Information about the landlord's agents, however, was deemed evidentiary and beyond the scope. The court denied the tenant's motion for discovery, finding no ample need, and the case was scheduled for settlement or trial.
