KMWB Delivers Swift Relief in Commercial Lease Dispute

KMWB is pleased to announce that Partner Jeffrey Levine, Esq., secured a significant victory on behalf of a property owner client in a commercial holdover proceeding before the Civil Court of the City of New York. The proceeding stemmed from the tenant’s unauthorized alterations to the premises, failure to maintain required insurance, and the illegal operation of a nightclub in the building’s basement—all in clear violation of the lease.

At the initial court appearance, the court issued a cease-and-desist order prohibiting the tenant from operating a bar or nightclub anywhere on the property. The ruling provides immediate protection to our client and reinforces the importance of swift legal action in response to serious lease violations.
