Co-Op Corporation and Neighboring Tenant Joined in Proceeding

(Decision submitted by Anthony Cornicello of the Manhattan law firm of Fromme Fromme & Schwartz, attorneys for the landlord). Rent-stabilized tenant sued landlord co-op shareholder to correct a leak in her apartment. Landlord asked the court to add both the co-op corporation and tenant of the adjoining apartment to the proceeding. The court agreed. The co-op corporation might be responsible for some of the repairs, and might need access to the apartment above tenant's apartment to do the work.
