Roof Garden Case:

Landlord barred from taking tenant’s roof garden

    Grad & Weinraub represented a rent controlled tenant, who had long had exclusive use of a roof garden.  The landlord had threatened to remove the stairway to the roof and eliminate the tenant’s right to use his roof garden.  Grad & Weinraub obtained an injunction, barring the landlord from taking any steps to interfere with the tenant’s use of his roof garden.
