DON'T YOU COME HOME ...

After Northtown Roosevelt filed a "nuisance" proceeding against its tenant--M. Bailey--the parties settled the case. But when the landlord later asked for an order permitting the eviction to proceed, Bailey inexplicably failed to timely oppose that request.

When the tenant asked to have the "default" vacated, the New York County Civil Court declined that application. And, on appeal, the Appellate Term, First Department, also took an unfavorable view of the tenant's position.

Because Bailey and his guests were engaged in "disruptive and anti-social behavior" which impacted "the safety and domestic tranquility of the other tenants in the building, to say nothing of landlord's staff," the AT1 thought that the eviction needed to proceed.

"Ain't it a shame … ain't it a shame."
