Whether commencement of the nonpayment proceeding instead of an illegal use proceeding here was an inadvertant law office failure, as contended by petitioner’s counsel at oral argument, or not, is without legal significance. Public policy forbids a landlord from doing anything to reinstate either an illegal use, or a tenancy terminated by operation of law because of an illegal use. Accordingly, any act by the landlord that under other circumstances would have been viewed as effecting a revival of the tenancy, cannot be permitted to have that legal effect here. IV
