Holdover, Non-Payment Petitions and Retaliation - Real Property Law § 223-b

There are no pending non-payment or holdover petitions filed against the Petitioners in this consolidated action.

Judgment/Order/Decision

In sum, Petitioners proved that they have been living in deteriorating and horrifying conditions since Mayfair took over property management duties at the property in July 2023. Conditions in the individual units, and the premises as a whole, saw a sharp decline in habitability, and the tenants' only recourse was to file 7D actions, and try to force Respondents into repairing the property. This Court's attempts to force repairs were also met with a laxadazicle effort; the property is severely understaffed and although property manager John Giannuzzi showed a willingness to undertake the needed hiring and repairs, he is no longer employed as of September 2025. Since September the property has gone from bad to worse, continuing its downward spiral with complaints of no heat, water pipes bursting, ceilings collapsing due to leakage, and no security. Mr. Giannuzzi worked for Mayfair Management Group until they were replaced by Destra Multifamily, LLC as the property management company. It should be noted that Destra Multifamily, LLC has not appeared in this action except for Mr. Giannuzzi appearing when Nob Hill's attorney brought him into Court to testify.
