Synopsis

In this nonpayment proceeding involving a rent-stabilized apartment, Respondent Paulette E. Reid moved to amend her answer, serve discovery including interrogatories, and conduct pre-HSTPA rent overcharge discovery. The court granted the motion, finding the proposed amended answer not palpably insufficient and that there was ample need for limited discovery on the overcharge claim.
