Synopsis

Cross-motion to amend petition granted under CPLR 3025(b); respondent's motion to dismiss denied as moot. Proposed amendments—correcting the termination date, reclassifying respondent as licensee rather than subtenant, adding supportive housing regulatory context, and expressly stating the GCEL exemption—elaborate on information already incorporated by reference from the predicate notice. No prejudice to respondent where the core factual theory of derivative licensee occupancy through the original program participant's program participation was disclosed in the predicate notice.
