Synopsis
In this GCEL no-grounds nonrenewal holdover, the court granted reargue but adhered to its prior order dismissing the petition. The landlord, claiming the small landlord exemption, had failed to provide direct and beneficial ownership information required by RPAPL § 741(5-b). The court found the motion to reargue was effectively a motion to amend an already-dismissed petition and therefore failed to satisfy CPLR 2221, which requires showing that the court misapprehended the facts or law.
