BLUM v. LEWIS

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department.
Jun 28, 1948

Per Curiam.

The petition is jurisdictionally defective for failure to allege the incorporation in the lease of a conditional limitation in the event of breach of any covenant. ( Parkton Estates, Inc., v. Metcalf, 72 N.Y.S.2d 324.) The mere allegation of a breach of a substantial obligation of tenancy without alleging the contractual right to terminate the tenancy is insufficient to sustain a summary proceeding ( 89-09 Sutphin Corp. v. Scarinzi, 187 Misc. 536).

The final order should be reversed, with $30 costs, and petition dismissed, with costs, without prejudice to a new proceeding.

CHURCH and HECHT, JJ., concur; HOFSTADTER, J., concurs in result.

Final order reversed, etc.
