Synopsis
The court granted the tenant's pre-answer motion to dismiss a nonpayment petition, finding the landlord's predicate rent demand defective for failing to attach the Good Cause Eviction Law notice required by RPL § 231-c. Citing precedent, the court held that such predicate notices are not amendable, rendering the landlord's cross-motion to amend the petition futile. Consequently, the proceeding was dismissed.
