§ 7-728 Conflicting proceedings.

Any action for a permanent injunction brought under this chapter against a natural person shall be dismissed if legal proceedings based on the same or substantially similar factual allegations have been conducted or are being conducted in New York city civil court or by the New York city housing authority, unless the city has a unique and compelling interest that is substantially different from that of the plaintiff in the other legal proceeding. Such interest shall not include the speed with which such case could be resolved. For the purposes of this section, the term "substantially similar factual allegations" shall not be construed to include conduct or actions that occurred subsequent to the allegations included in the relevant legal proceedings conducted in New York city civil court or by the New York city housing authority. (L.L. 2017/032, 3/18/2017, eff. 5/17/2017)
