Synopsis

In this post-foreclosure holdover case involving an unregulated tenancy, the court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss the petition. The landlord, a limited liability company (LLC), failed to comply with Limited Liability Company Law § 206 by only publishing notice of its initial articles of organization for five consecutive weeks instead of the statutorily required six. Citing precedent, the court rejected the landlord's argument that it had cured this defect, holding that incomplete publication meant the defect remained uncured. Consequently, the landlord was precluded from maintaining the action, and the petition was dismissed.
