Synopsis

In this nonpayment proceeding, Respondent moved to dismiss under CPLR § 3211 on the ground that the rent ledger included a lump sum of $4,665.28 in undated 'arrears,' rendering the termination notice defective. The court granted the motion, holding that inclusion of the lump sum without identifying the periods it covered was a non-amendable defect requiring dismissal.
