104 Second Realty, LLC, Appellant, v Beer Factory LLC et al., Respondents, et al., Defendant. |
Cutler Minikes & Adelman LLP, New York (Jonathan Z. Minikes of counsel), for appellant.
Andrew B. Schultz, Astoria, for respondents.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Louis L. Nock, J.), entered September 27, 2019, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and a default judgment, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Given the allegation of a lockout in November 2017, the evidence submitted by defendants that their property remained inside the premises, and defendants' counterclaim for unjust enrichment, summary judgment in plaintiff's favor is precluded by a triable issue of fact as to whether plaintiff prevented defendants from carrying out the surrender obligations under the lease and guaranties (see Insurance Corp. of N.Y. v Central Mut. Ins. Co., 47 AD3d 469, 472 [1st Dept 2008]). This result extends to plaintiff's motion for a default judgment against defendant Pitsionas, the non-appearing defendant-guarantor, against whom the identical allegations are asserted (see CPLR 3215 [f]).
We have considered plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them unavailing. Concur—Friedman J.P., Gische, Kapnick, González, JJ. [Prior Case History: 2019 NY Slip Op 32511(U).]
