Opinion
2004-1276 K C.
Decided on July 21, 2005.
Appeal by tenant from a final judgment of the Civil Court, Kings County (M. Finkelstein, J.), entered November 6, 2003 in a summary holdover proceeding, awarding landlord possession, and from a judgment of the same court, entered July 1, 2004, awarding landlord the sum of $3,375.
Appeal from final judgment entered November 6, 2003 unanimously dismissed.
Before: PRESENT: GOLIA, J.P., RIOS and BELEN, JJ.
Judgment entered July 1, 2004 unanimously reversed without costs and award to landlord vacated without prejudice to landlord's assertion of a claim for relief in a proper forum.
The appeal from the final judgment entered November 6, 2003 awarding landlord possession is dismissed because no appeal lies from a final judgment entered on consent pursuant to a stipulation. The entry of a second, money judgment in favor of landlord, after oral argument upon tenant's post-judgment order to show cause application, was improper, particularly in the absence of a stipulation provision providing for the entry of such a judgment in the event of tenant's breach. Landlord's remedy is a plenary action to recover the sums due ( Citibank v. Schorr, NYLJ, Apr. 29, 1997 [App Term, 2d 11th Jud Dists]; see also 1173 Bergen St. Realty Corp. v.
