This court held in a prior decision in this nonpayment proceeding that petitioners’ three-day notice for rent pursuant to RPAPL 711 (2) was jurisdictionally defective in that the notice was signed by the landlords’ attorney unknown to the respondent and not accompanied by proof of authorization by the landlords to bind the landlords in the giving of such notice. Petitioners’ nonpayment petition was dismissed based on this ground. Respondent is a rent-controlled tenant and there is no lease agreement between the parties. This court in its prior decision, in essence, applied the ruling in the Kentucky Fried Chicken case (supra) to a three-day predicate notice in a nonpayment proceeding.
