Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Carol H. Arbor, J.).
On a prior appeal in this declaratory judgment action, this Court, inter alia, reversed the Supreme Court's declaration that plaintiff Manuela Quiala was entitled to a renewal lease with respect to the subject apartment, number 6-F at 139 West 82nd Street in Manhattan, on behalf of her infant children ( 180 A.D.2d 31, lv dismissed 80 N.Y.2d 924, rearg denied 80 N.Y.2d 926). There was insufficient evidence in the record on appeal at that juncture for this Court to make a conclusive determination of the amount due on defendant's second counterclaim for use and occupancy. However, given the prior determinations of this Court and the Court of Appeals, there should have been no question that the defendant landlord was entitled to payment for use and occupancy with respect to the subject apartment. Accordingly, we remand the matter for a determination of the amount of use and occupancy due.
