Synopsis
In this non-payment proceeding, the landlord's motion to restore the case and for a money judgment and warrant of eviction was denied. The court found that the landlord failed to provide a reasonable excuse for the significant delay of over 31 months in seeking restoration after the parties had previously settled the matter by stipulation. This period was well beyond the one-year statutory limit set by 22 NYCRR § 208.14(c). The court also considered the potential prejudice to the 71-year-old long-term rent-regulated tenant, noting that restoring the matter for judgment on years of unchallenged rent could be unfair.
