After 450-454 W. 152nd St. HDFC, a housing development fund corporation, terminated his tenancy and secured a judgment of eviction against him, Everett Stembridge filed an appeal with the Appellate Term, First Department.
Since Stembridge had no possessory interest in the apartment--because his occupancy began after the building had been converted to a co-op, and he hadn't purchased the unit or signed an updated lease agreement--the AT1 affirmed the eviction. (It didn't help the guy's case that he hadn't paid rent in almost a year.)
Talk about not conforming.
