Opinion
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Manuel J. Mendez, J.), entered January 17, 2014, which, after a hearing, denied plaintiff tenant's motion for a preliminary injunction, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The motion court providently exercised its discretion in denying the motion (see Doe v. Axelrod, 73 N.Y.2d 748, 750, 536 N.Y.S.2d 44, 532 N.E.2d 1272 1988 ), where the evidence raises “sharp” issues of fact regarding plaintiff's noise and odor complaints, and the intent of the parties that drafted a 1999 stipulation (Residential Bd. of Mgrs. of Columbia Condominium v. Alden, 178 A.D.2d 121, 123, 576 N.Y.S.2d 859 1st Dept.1991; Lehey v. Goldburt, 90 A.D.3d 410, 411, 933 N.Y.S.2d 281 1st Dept.2011 ). Plaintiff has not made the required showing for a preliminary injunction (see Doe, 73 N.Y.2d at 750, 536 N.Y.S.2d 44, 532 N.E.2d 1272).
