4220 BROADWAY ASSOCIATES, Appellant v. RAUL PEREZ, Respondent.

Per Curiam

Order entered December 22, 1999 (Larry S. Schachner, J.) affirmed, with $10 costs.

Civil Court properly vacated the final judgment and warrant in this nonpayment proceeding upon tenant's tender of all outstanding arrears (see, Parkchester Apartments Co. v. Scott, 271 A.D.2d 273). Landlord's election to first apply tenant's tender toward the nonpossessory judgment for attorneys' fees, thereby creating a "shortfall" in the amount of tenant's tender, does not dictate a contrary result. This course of action would effectively circumvent our holding in Silber v. Schwartzman ( 150 Misc.2d 1) that attorneys' fees do not constitute additional rent in the context of rent regulated tenancies and may not serve as the predicate for an eviction.
