(Civ. Ct. N.Y. Cty. 6/21/88)

Court ruled that respondent tenant not entitled to discovery of causes of water damage in a commercial non-payment proceeding, lack of a certificate of occupancy was not a defense to a commercial non-payment proceeding, and alleged landlord negligence was not a defense to a non-payment because “a commercial tenant has an independent obligation to pay rent as long as the tenant is in possession.”  Link to Full Text of Decision
