MOTION TO VACATE THE EXECUTED WARRANT OF EVICTION PROPERLY GRANTED.

The First Department, over an extensive concurrence by Justice Saxe, determined Civil Court properly granted tenant’s post-eviction motion to vacate the warrant of eviction and restore the tenant to possession. The tenant was disabled and had trouble securing the emergency rental assistance to cover the arrears. Eventually the landlord was paid in full and the costs of the eviction were reimbursed. The concurrence expressed concern over the validity of the relevant precedent and the need for landlords to essentially lend money at no interest to low-income tenants “who rely on the slow process of obtaining grants and supplemental payments to cover their rent.” With respect to the authority to vacate an executed warrant of eviction, the court wrote:

We reject the landlord’s contention, premised on RPAPL 749(3), that the Civil Court lacked the authority to grant the tenant’s post-eviction motion … . “[T]he Civil Court may, in appropriate circumstances, vacate the warrant of eviction and restore the tenant to possession even after the warrant has been executed” … . Here, the Civil Court providently exercised its discretion, as the record shows that the long-term, disabled tenant “did not sit idly by[,]” but instead made appreciable payments towards his rental arrears and “engaged in good faith efforts to secure emergency rental assistance to cover the arrears” … . Moreover, the tenant has paid the rental arrears for the unit and the landlord’s costs for the underlying proceeding …, and the record shows that the delays in payment were, to a certain extent, attributable to others, including the landlord … . Matter of Lafayette Boynton Hsg.
