Landlord or tenant

Florek v. King, 53 Misc.3d 145(A) (App. Term 2nd, 11th and 13th Jud. Dists. 2016)

Oct 31, 2016

OUTCOME: Appeal granted; ORDERED that the final judgment reversed, without costs, and the matter remitted to the Civil Court for the entry of a final judgment dismissing the petition

Appeals from a final judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Terrence C. O'Connor, J.), entered August 19, 2014, and an order of the same court dated September 23, 2014. The ... final judgment, after a nonjury trial, awarded landlord possession and arrears of $23,000 as against “King, Adrian D/B/A Kings Kitchen Ridgewood Inc.” in a nonpayment summary proceeding. The order denied the branch of a motion by Adrian King and nonparty Kings Kitchen Ridgewood, Inc. seeking to set aside the final judgment, and, in effect, denied as unnecessary so much of the motion as was made by nonparty Kings Kitchen Ridgewood, Inc. seeking to open its default and to allow it to interpose an answer.
