A lower Manhattan eatery that lost power in Hurricane Sandy is not entitled to a rent abatement for the months it had to supply its own electricity with a generator, Manhattan Civil Court Judge Jennifer Schecter (See Profile) has ruled. The decision in Maiden Lane Properties v. Just Salad Partners, 056312/13, was handed down yesterday following a bench trial. It was one of the first final dispositions in a lawsuit arising from Sandy.
The store, a branch of the Just Salad chain, lost power following the Oct. 29 storm along with the rest of the mixed-use residential and commercial building. The building owner provided a generator for the residential tenants, but did not allow Just Salad to use it, saying it might not generate enough power. Just Salad got its own generator so it could continue doing business.
