Synopsis

In this nuisance holdover, the court grants the tenant's motion to dismiss under CPLR 3211(a)(7). The notice of termination alleged only a single incident — one dog lunging at another dog, followed by an argument between their handlers. The court holds that a single incident without any allegation of repeated or persistent objectionable conduct is insufficient to state a nuisance claim, and that because such a defective predicate notice cannot be amended, the petition is dismissed.
