MEYER GUTNICK,

Appellant,

-against-

NO. 2010-96 K C

ILEANA RAMOS,
"JOHN & JANE DOE,"

Respondent.

DECISION Motion by landlord-appellant to direct tenant-respondent to pay use and occupancy is denied.

Tenant has not sought a stay or other relief, the granting of which might be conditioned upon the payment of use and occupancy. We note that landlord-appellant is permitted to accept use and occupancy payments, or to bring a plenary action therefor, while its appeal is pending without vitiating its appeal (RPAPL 711 [1]; 1035 Washington Realty, LLC v Grange, 2009 NY Slip Op 86385[U] [App Term, 2d, 11th and 13th Jud Dists 2009]; 17th Holding v Rivera, NYLJ, Aug. 15, 2002 [App Term, 2nd & 11th Jud Dists]).
