Synopsis
Court dismissed nonpayment petition because the rent demand failed to credit earmarked DSS/HRA shelter payments and sought rent in excess of the collectible legal regulated rent under a DHCR rent reduction order. Court rejected landlord's contention that the variance between actual arrears owed and the allegations in the rent demand was de minimis.
