ALBANY – One of Manhattan’s most prominent commercial landlords was under no obligation to help a law firm defray 15 months’ worth of rental costs when the firm vacated its offices 15 months before its lease expired, the state Court of Appeals ruled unanimously Thursday.
The court ruled 6-0 that a stipulation Kurzman Karelsen & Frank signed with the 230 Park Avenue Holdco did not establish a duty by the landlord to mitigate its damages caused by the law firm’s exit from the 23rd floor of the Helmsley Building over Grand Central Station.
