4. Defendant Calle Catorce LLC entered into a lease with Plaintiff dated as of March 1, 2017
-'Lease"
(the "Lease") for the ground floor store located at 157 East Houston Street, New York, NY
"Premises"
(the "Premises"). A copy of the Lease is annexed hereto as Exhibit C. Defendant Hector Sanz
"Guaranty"
guaranteed the Lease by an agreement he signed on May 18, 2017 (the "Guaranty"), which is
annexed hereto as Exhibit D.
5. In August, 2017, Plaintiff initiated a summary proceeding of nonpayment against Calle
Catorce LLC with index number LT-070806/17 in the Civil Court of the City of New York,
County of New York. The summary proceeding was settled by a stipulation of settlement
dated October 19, 2017, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit E.
6. Calle Catorce LLC surrendered the Premises on or about November 7, 2017. While vacating
the Premises, Defendants removed furniture. fixtures, trade fixtures, and other property from
the Premises that belonged to the Landlord. Defendants even removed the heating system
that served the Premises. Significant damage was inflicted upon the Premises due to
Defendants'
careless and negligent removal of the furniture. fixtures, and trade fixtures.
Defendants did not repair the damage caused to the Premises by the removal of the furniture,
fixtures, and trade fixtures. By the acts and omissions set forth above, and described in the
complaint, Defendants breached the Lease and the Guaranty.
7. I am responsible for maintaining the records for the Plaintiff, and I have the authority to
make this certification. To the best of my knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, the copies of
the records annexed as Exhibit F are a full, complete, and accurate set of the rent ledgers for
Defendants'
the account in relation to the Lease at issue in this action. The rent ledgers were
made by the personnel or staff of the Plaintiff, or persons acting under their control, in the
regular course of business, at the time of the act, transaction, occurrence or event recorded
