<p>Landlord appeals from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Clifton A. Nembhard, J.), entered July 23, 2019, which granted respondent Nittaya Chimsanthia's motion to dismiss the petition and denied, as moot, landlord's cross-motion for summary judgment in a licensee holdover summary proceeding.</p> 

 

 

 

 

<p>Per Curiam.</p> 

<p>Order (Clifton A. Nembhard, J.), entered July 23, 2019, reversed, with $10 costs, respondent Chimsanthia's motion denied, petition reinstated, and the matter remanded to Civil Court for a determination of petitioner's cross motion on the merits.</p> 

<p>Respondent's motion to dismiss the holdover petition should have been denied. In evaluating the facial sufficiency of a predicate notice in a summary eviction proceeding, the appropriate test is one of reasonableness in view of attendant circumstances (<i>see Hughes v Lenox Hill Hosp., </i>226 AD2d 4, 18 [1996]<i>, lv denied </i>90 NY2d 829 [1997]). Measured against the test of reasonableness, the notice to quit used here was facially sufficient, as it fairly stated the nature of petitioner's claim and the facts necessary to establish the existence of grounds for eviction. The misstatement in the notice concerning petitioner's name 
 "could not have materially misled or confused the [respondent] or hindered the preparation of h[er] defense" (<i>Oxford Towers Co., LLC v Leites</i>, 41 AD3d 144, 145 [2007];<i> see Kips Bay Joint Venture Assoc. v Pashazadeh</i>, 2001 NY Slip Op 40302[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2001]; <i>see also</i> CPLR 2001).</p> 

<p>In light of this determination, the denial as moot of petitioner's motion for summary <font color="FF0000">[*2]</font>judgment must be reversed and the motion remanded for a determination on the merits.</p> 

<p>All concur.</p> 

<p>THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.</p>
