Upon the foregoing papers and for the following reasons, the motion by Respondent
Anna Castellanos ("Tenant"), for, inter alia, an order dismissing the instant chronic rent
delinquency holdover proceeding, is denied in part, and the matter is hereby referred for
an immediate trial.
Pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated May 1, 1986, Tenant has resided in the
subject rent-stabilized apartment in building premises, known as 1975 Davidson Avenue,
Apt. 1-E, in the Bronx, New York, which are owned and managed by Petitioner 1975
Realty Associates, LLC ("Landlord"). During Tenant's 28-year tenancy, she raised her
three sons at the Premises, and allegedly endured the horrors of domestic violence for
several years. It appears that her abusive relationship scarred her with Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder and major depressive disorder, entitling her to SSI disability benefits and
