652266/10 8960A
[*1]Building Service Local 32B-J Pension Fund, et al, Plaintiffs-Respondents,
v
101 Limited Partnership, Defendant-Appellant.
Stempel Bennett Claman & Hochberg, P.C., New York
(Richard L. Claman of counsel), for appellant.
Proskauer Rose LLP, New York (Herman ("Hank") Goldsmith
of counsel), for respondents.
Resettled order and judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Melvin L. Schweitzer, J.), entered December 1, 2011, specifying the principal amount awarded and adding prejudgment interest to the principal amount, and order, same court and Justice, entered September 7, 2011, which granted plaintiffs tenants' motion for partial summary judgment with respect to their claim for certain revenue sharing proceeds owed by defendant landlord, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
The court properly granted plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment and issued a resettled order and judgment awarding plaintiff a specified amount, including prejudgment interest (see Trans World Maintenance Servs. v Luna Park Hous. Corp., 157 AD2d 586 [1st Dept 1990]). Giving proper effect to terms of the parties' lease precludes defendant from withholding the revenue sharing proceeds admittedly owed to plaintiffs for the purpose of applying those proceeds to offset the repair expenditures defendant purportedly made as a result of plaintiffs' alleged default on their obligation to make repairs
and renovations to the building.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
ENTERED: JANUARY 8, 2013
CLERK
