Abend v. Argo Corp.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 27, 1994
208 A.D.2d 476 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

October 27, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Arber, J.).


The IAS Court correctly concluded that interest is available for the period from the overcharge administrative determination to the entry of judgment on the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) order. CPLR 5002 provides for interest "from the date the * * * decision was made to the date of entry of final judgment". Rent Stabilization Code § 2526.1 (e) provides that a judgment on an unpaid DHCR overcharge order "may be entered, filed and enforced by a tenant in the same manner as a judgment of the Supreme Court". Such "manner" includes prejudgment interest equivalent to that authorized by CPLR 5002 (see, e.g., Matter of State Div. of Human Rights v. Gissha White Plains Corp., 107 A.D.2d 750).

We have considered the defendant's remaining arguments, and find them to be without merit.
