Synopsis
In this licensee holdover proceeding, Respondent Aaron Dancy claimed succession rights as the nephew of the former tenant and moved for summary judgment. The court granted dismissal, finding that Petitioner's failure to disclose the subject premises' regulatory status under LIHTC, the 420-c Tax Incentive, the J-51 Tax Incentive, and a regulatory agreement prejudiced Respondent by depriving him of information material to his succession claim.
