Synopsis
In this nonpayment proceeding, the court grants the tenant's motion to amend the answer and for discovery on the issue of rent overcharge. The court holds that unexplained increases in rent and missing registrations in the DHCR rent history 'impugned' the reliability of the rent, and the facts set forth in the supporting documents raised a 'colorable' claim of fraud.
