Proof of a demand for rent is a jurisdictional requisite to maintain a summary proceeding (Solack Estates v Goodman, 102 Misc 2d 504 [App Term, 1st Dept 1979], affd 78 AD2d 512 [1st Dept 1980]), and failing to comply calls for dismissal of the action. Defects in the predicate notice are not subject to cure by amendment and require dismissal of the proceeding. (Chinatown Apts. v Chu Cho Lam, 51 NY2d 786 [1980].) Respondent’s motion is granted and the proceeding is dismissed without prejudice.
