Kingbridge Landlord Is Sued By Cerebral Palsy Tenant Over Elevator Issues

SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 20 – Lisa Rivera sued her landlord, 170 Kingsbridge Pistilli LLC, for failing to accommodate her disabilities: cerebral plasy and multiple sclerosis. 
 On July 20 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 
The problem was, the defendant did not show up.
And given that, Judge Koeltl was not wont to issue a temporary restraining order concerning the building's elevator, not being able to hear from the landlord what safety issues there might be.
The case is Rivera v. 170 Kingsbridge Pistilli LLC et al., 20-cv-1577 (Koeltl)
