Synopsis
In this illegal lockout proceeding, the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County, following an inquest due to the landlord-respondents' non-appearance, awarded a final judgment of possession to the tenant-petitioner. The court found that the tenant was unlawfully deprived of possession when the apartment doors were sealed. The landlord was ordered to provide the tenant with a key and remove structures barring entry, allowing access to belongings. Full possession is contingent upon the lifting of an HPD vacate order, which was issued due to the landlord's failure to maintain essential services like heat and hot water.
