Justice Anil Singh
At issue was whether plaintiffs, rent-regulated tenants of Park West Village, whose lease riders gave them assigned parking spots in outdoor parking lots, have shown irreparable injury so as to permanently enjoin defendants from unilaterally terminating plaintiffs’ parking lease riders, or taking any steps to eliminate, cancel, or relocate plaintiffs’ parking spaces, until actions were authorized by Division of Housing and Community Renewal. A preliminary injunction was granted after plaintiffs received notices from defendant landlord stating that the parking lots were being eliminated and plaintiff would have to keep their vehicles at an underground garage nearby. After carefully reviewing all sixty-four sworn affidavits, the court held that plaintiffs were entitled to the permanent injunction finding that they had made a prima facie case that they would suffer irreparable injury and that there was no adequate legal remedy. The court reasoned that the affidavits reflected, among other things, that some of the plaintiffs were senior citizens or individuals with injuries or disabilities where a garage would be more inconvenient than outdoor lots, and that plaintiffs felt relatively safe in the open-air parking lots but fearful of crime in a subterranean garage.
