Synopsis
In this nonpayment proceeding, the court granted tenant's motion for an interim order to correct on landlord's default. There were 68 open HPD violations — 19 Class A, 26 Class B, and 23 Class C — in the apartment, plus 5 Class B common-area violations. Landlord failed to interpose any cognizable defense. Failure to gain access is not a defense to an order to correct, per D'Agostino v Forty-Three E. Equities Corp., 12 Misc 3d 486 (Civ Ct NY 2006). Corrections ordered within statutory time frames upon first access.
