Synopsis
In this nonpayment proceeding involving a rent-stabilized apartment, Respondent moved to amend his answer to add overcharge defenses and counterclaims and to conduct discovery. The court granted the motion in part, permitting Respondent to add defective registration and overcharge claims dating to 2006 based on a colorable fraud indicia, and granted limited discovery, but denied the claim for discovery predating 2006 and certain other relief.
