| Citation | 257 A.D.2d 460,683 N.Y.S.2d 532 |
| Parties | U.B.O. REALTY CORP., Appellant,<BR>v.<BR>SANTO MOLLICA, Respondent. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Lerner, Rubin and Tom, JJ.
Despite the commercial nature of the leases, the finding that petitioner landlord knew of or acquiesced in respondent tenant's residential use of these store front premises has sufficient support in the record and, accordingly, the petition was properly dismissed (see, Ten Be Or Not Ten Be v Dibbs, NYLJ, June 12, 1985, at 11, col 4, affd 117 AD2d 1028; West Side Equities v Cerigo, NYLJ, June 17, 1993, at 24, col 1). We note the premises were already equipped for residential use when respondent moved in, the length and character of respondent's residential tenancy, and the deletion from the last lease, at respondent's request, of the phrase "and for no other purpose" from the provision limiting use of the premises to a copy shop.
