Synopsis
In this nonpayment proceeding, the court granted the tenant's post-eviction Order to Show Cause, restoring the tenant to possession forthwith under RPAPL § 749(3). The re-execution of the warrant of eviction was stayed to allow the tenant to obtain payment for all outstanding rent arrears, along with the landlord's legal and marshal fees. The court noted that ordering post-eviction restoration before full payment is rare. Additionally, the court sua sponte joined the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) to the proceeding, pursuant to NYC Civil Court Act § 110(d), to facilitate payment assistance.
