Synopsis
Court granted respondent's motion to dismiss no-grounds/non-renewal of tenancy holdover, holding that the failure to attach the Good Cause Eviction Law Notice required by RPL § 231-c to the predicate 90-day notice of termination served under RPL § 226-c was a fatal, non-amendable defect requiring dismissal. Court sharply admonished and cautioned landlord's counsel for repeatedly refusing to withdraw the defective proceeding despite demonstrating an inadequate grasp of basic GCEL principles, directing counsel to disclose the decision if accused of professional misconduct.
