This judge favor landlord....Respondent was proSe no legal support....Hon Gonzales was favor this nyc bad landlord side 100%. Push the case to resolve out of court so the court cannot track what goes on next. Allow landlord side freely do what they want to continue harass the tenant, allow the landlord side to disobey court order and the court do not know about it. allow unfinish disposition to continue with subpoena to places no relation to case . allow petitioner side to freely change date of document lookback away from court order allow date, order respondent to pay falsify rent ledger rent amount and allow landlord to lock it without 1st order to see what dhcr approve collectible as legal rent. Lock in falsify petitioner claim rent permanently by telling the petitioner to work it out of court and let the case freeze with no action where as she could have give a expire date a date the landlord must reply back to court. She allow landlord to collect falsify rent amount that dhcr did not approve.

Hon Gonzales ...taking advantage respondent had no lawyer she favor the landlord side dispite respondent proof the landlord was harassing and filing false claim into court. She favor and push the respondent to pay the false claim rent demand instead of shutting it down issue penalty because the landlord lawyer did not 1st issue a rent demand as require by law before any debt collecting is allow. Hon. Gonzales also instead of trashing the case which contain proof the landlord was harassing instead she put the case off calendar to tell the landlord to resolve it out of court. The case got the respondent stuck paying false calculated rent math that dhcr never approved collectible. She also allow subpoena to lawyer office instead to court and allow lawyer to subpoena using the date of their choice not what she approve and allow all this hiding at the landlord lawyer office and away from court view and court judge knowing what is actually going on. The case passed many years and no action....this is not fair to respondent where it is allow landlord or petitioner side to harass the way they want off court calendar. this is my friend's case.

Lacks judicial temperament; is overly condescending and rude when disagreeing with a litigant. Abuses authority; generally seems to dislike her position and has disdain for the whole court.

She was a no show for court on August 21, 2017. This caused my case to be adjourned. The reason I was told was: 'something came up". I am a landlord and this delay burdens me and is unprofessional.

I found her rather unfair and decidedly pro respondents. There was something unprofessional about her attitude.

I lost the matter that I had before this Judge. She is not as bad as the other two reviewers paint. She listens to argument, asks cogent questions, and like any other Judge, makes some mistakes. She is not a complete disaster.

This judge is the main problem of why NYC has very little affordable housing and dismal housing quality. She is bias and pro landlord. I had a case before her with a landlord who had over 100 HPD violations, she did nothing to the landlord - no fines, no rent abatement, etc. She allows criminal conduct in housing cases. She screams to interrupt attorneys for no good reason. The Black and Hispanic community stupidly think that she represents them, when in reality she mostly takes away their affordable housing to give to the wealthy landlords to deregulate their buildings. Basically, she transfers wealth from the poor and middle class and gives to the wealthy landlords. NYS and NYC tax payers provide affordable housing to NYC and this judge transfers the tax payer funded housing to the landlords to personally profit by deregulation. Just look around you and view all of the women and children who are homeless in NYC. Then look at how many evictions and building deregulation that has happened in NYC in the last 5 years. This is a bought and paid for judge. She needs to be removed from the bench.

This judge wants no-nonsense quick dipositions. If a judge could say 'talk to the hand' -she'd be the first to do it. Several issues of law were raised both in the matter before I stood up, and in mine. If it did not comport with quotidian practice, she did not know -or care to know- what to make of it. In housing part, complexities whether of facts or law generally favor the tenant. The result is that she is a judge whose judicial temperament favors landlords. Having been in front of her, and seeing her treatment of the issues, that's my view.
