discretion of the court. Ahmed
v. Pannone, 116 AD3d 802 [2nd Dept. 2014].
Upon granting leave to reargue, Petitioner's request for reargument is denied.
Petitioner's argument that the law became effective as to Real Property Action and
Proceedings Law on August 18, 2024 is not correct. The effective date of August 18,

apply to actions and proceedings commenced on or after such effective date [April 20,
2024]").

to the predicate notice. The argument regarding the predicate notice and the retroactive
application of the Good Cause Eviction Law is not within the Decision/Order. The
predicate notice was not the reason why dismissal of the petition was in order. The
petition failed to comply with RPAPL Section 741, although an opportunity to amend the
petition was not requested or sought.
The Good Cause Eviction Law (GCEL), Laws 2024, ch56, §7 (Part HH),
became effective on April 20, 2024, and the notice provisions were phased in to take
effect on August 18, 2024. The proceeding here was commenced upon service of the
