811 Walton Rescue LLC v. 811 Walton Tenants Corp., 20578-17E, NYLJ 1202794949290, p.1 (Bronx Sup., August 3, 2017), (Successfully defeated a cooperative shareholder-tenant’s attempt to consolidate a nuisance holdover proceeding with a Supreme Court action. The Supreme Court held that consolidation is not appropriate when the claims asserted in a Supreme Court action [i.e., termination of a shareholder-tenant’s lease based on nuisance claims required a notice to cure] may be interposed as defenses in a summary holdover proceeding. Therefore, Civil Court is the preferred forum for this dispute.)
