16-043. 322 WEST 47TH STREET HDFC, pet-land-res, v. MARGIE LOO, res-tent-app, -AND- “JOHN DOE,” res-und Final judgment (Arlene H. Hahn, J.), entered July 30, 2015, affirmed, with $25 costs, for the reasons stated by Arlene H. Hahn, J. at Civil Court. Appeal from order (Arlene H. Hahn, J.), dated January 16, 2015, dismissed, without costs, as subsumed in the appeal from the final judgment.

Landlord, a housing development fund corporation (HDFC), seeks to recover possession of the subject apartment on the basis that tenant, after the building was converted to cooperative ownership, failed to purchase her unit. Inasmuch as landlord alleged and proved a cause for eviction other than the mere expiration of tenant’s lease (see 512 E. 11th St. HDFC v. Grimmet, 181 AD2d 488 [1992], appeal dismissed 80 NY2d 892 [1992]; 80 St. Nicholas Ave. HDFC v. Lewis, 24 Misc 3d 134[A], 2009 NY Slip Op 51473[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2009]), the requisite good cause for terminating tenant’s month-to-month tenancy was established. Nor was landlord’s delay in commencing the within holdover proceeding fatal to its possessory claim (see Schorr v. New York City Dept. Of Hous. Preserv. & Dev., 10 NY3d 776 [2008]; see also 546 W. 156 St. HDFC v. Smalls, 43 AD3d 7, 14 [2007]).
