Appeal from an order of the District Court of Suffolk County, Second District (Garrett W. Swenson, Jr., J.), entered January 12, 2023. The order granted tenant's motion to dismiss the petition in a holdover summary proceeding.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs.
In this commercial holdover proceeding, tenant moved to dismiss the petition. The District Court granted tenant's motion on the grounds that the notice to cure was deficient in that it failed to sufficiently notify tenant of the complained-of conditions, and that the petition was also defective.
We agree with the District Court that the notice to cure was defective, albeit on a different ground. As argued by tenant in its motion to dismiss, the notice to cure was defective in that it failed to inform tenant of the duration of the cure period (see 416 W 25th St. Lender LLC v 416 W. 25th St. Assoc., LLC, 182 A.D.3d 432, 432 [2020] ["Plaintiff's notice to cure was deficient, as it failed to inform the borrower of the 30-day period to cure"]). The notice did not even reference the lease provision where the cure period could be found (cf. NL Industries, Inc. v PaineWebber Inc., 720 F.Supp. 293, 300 [SD NY 1989] ["where, as here, the cited lease provision contains all the information necessary to calculate the permissible period for cure, and the consequences if no cure is effected, that information need not be recited in the notice"]).
We reach no other issue.
Accordingly, the order is affirmed.
GARGUILO, P.J., McCORMACK and WALSH, JJ., concur.
