I respectfully submit this review to express my appreciation for the Honorable Judge Stoller's initial accommodations in granting time to vacate the landlord's residence.

However, I must emphasize the necessity for a more comprehensive and empathetic approach towards cases involving individuals with severe medical conditions, including myself. Throughout these proceedings, there appears to have been an underestimation of the life-threatening nature of my medical concerns and an oversight of my conscientious efforts to comply with the court's directives.

In considering similar cases in the future, I respectfully urge Your Honor to adopt a more compassionate and thorough review process. It is crucial to recognize the profound impact of severe medical conditions on individuals' lives and to diligently assess their efforts to meet legal obligations amidst such challenges. This approach would ensure that justice is served equitably and uphold the court's commitment to fairness and understanding.

Your dismissive approach does not align with the characteristics expected of a judge tasked with upholding fair and equitable justice.

JACK STOLLER TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A WOMAN WITH DISABILITY.

IT IS QUITE APPARENT THAT JACK STOLLER'S ORDER WASN'T DONE IN A LEGAL WAY. JACK STOLLER'S ORDER FURTHER DEMONSTRATE THE TERRIBLE WAY HE HANDLE THE BELOW CASE AND MISREPRESENTS THE ERAP STATUTES. Stoller lied when he stated that ERAP DENIED THE TENANT HER ERAP APPLICATION. ERAP DIDN'T DENIED THE CO-TENANT HER ERAP APPLICATION.

JACK STOLLER DISENFRANCHISED THE TENANT FROM HER ERAP PROTECTION SO AS TO ORDER THE SHERIFF TO DO AN ILLEGAL EVICTION AND SEIZED THIS PERSON'S PROPERTY. STOLLER LIED ON THE RECORD.

THE CO-TENANT HAS A LEARNING DISABILITY BUT STOLLER REFUSED TO ORDER HER AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT HER IN THE DECEMBER 5 AND 6, 2022 HEARINGS.

INSTEAD STOLLER BULLDOZE THE TENANT AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER WEAKNESS.

STOLLER IS A FRAUD, CROOK, LIAR AND ABUSES HIS POWER TO STRIP THIS TENANT WHO HAS A LEARNING DISABILITY OF HER LEGAL RIGHTS IN FAVOR OF LANDLORDS.

ON DECEMBER 5, STOLLER PROMISED THE TENANT THAT ON DECEMBER 6, 2022 HE WOULD ADDRESSED ALL ISSUES BUT INSTEAD STOLLER CAME BACK WITH A WRITTEN DECISION THAT BUTTNICK'S LAWYER APPEAR TO HAVE A COPY BEFORE IT WAS GIVEN TO THE TENANT.

Even after the person was evicted on December 9, 2022. An OSC was filed on December 13, 2022 and again Stoller came up with an erroneous ORDER FULL OF LIES AND misrepresentation of the facts.

BELOW IS STOLLER'S ORDER:



"The Prior Order found that Respondent had previously applied for benefits under the
Emergency Rent Assistance Program (“ERAP”); that the Office of Temporary and Disability
Assistance (“OTDA”) denied both the ERAP application and internal appeals at OTDA; that the
First Co-Respondent applied for ERAP after OTDA denied Respondent’s ERAP application; that
OTDA had therefore already rendered a “determination of eligibility” that effectuated a vacatur
of the stay occasioned by an ERAP application as provided by Section 8 of subpart A of part BB
of chapter 56 of the laws of 2021, as amended by Section 4 of part A of chapter 417 of the laws
of 2021 for the “household,” the unit identified by the statute. The Prior Order also denied the
First Co-Respondent's motion seeking the appointment of an attorney for the First Co-
Respondent, as the Court does not have the power to appoint attorneys for litigants in Housing
Court."
STOLLER LIED ON THE RECORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO SATISFY HIS JEWISH FRIENDS BUTTNICK & LEVENSON LAW FIRM AND THEIR CLIENT SHEMIRAN.

MORE OF JACK STOLLER'S LIES:

"Both movants also assert that the Prior Order was not served upon them pursuant to
CPLR §2220. Until the Prior Order is served on Respondents with notice of entry, Respondents’
time to appeal the Prior Order does not start running. However, assuming arguendo that
Respondents were not served with the Prior Order, such a failure to serve would not diminish a
vacatur of a stay, at the very least because the Court never stayed the execution of the warrant
when the Court signed the order to show cause resulting the Prior Order. The Court also takes
judicial notice that the Court provided both Co-Respondents with copies of the Prior Order in
hand on the date that the Court rendered the Prior Order.
Respondents do not challenge the proposition in Petitioner’s opposition that at the time of
the eviction, Petitioner caused their personal property to be removed and placed into storage. By
Respondent’s own telling, Respondent did not serve Petitioner with the order to show cause
staying removal of personal propertyAccordingly, there is no purpose to a stay. Petitioner
represented to the Court that the name and phone number of the storage company is Baya
Movers, at (718) 523-5000. Respondents can use that contact information to obtain their
personal property.
Accordingly, it is ordered that the Court denies the motion in its entirety and vacates all"

THE MOVING COMPANY REFUSED TO HAND OVER THE PROPERTY.

Judge Jack Stoller is [Redacted by Ed.] and should be kicked off the bench. A friend of mine had an ERAP Case before Stoller and He stripped the Tenant of his ERAP. Stoller is a Pathological [Redacted by Ed.], BELOW IS PART JACK STOLLER ILLOGICAL RULING. THE TENANT DIDN'T MADE ANY SUBSEQUENT ERAP APPLICATION. THIS WAS THE TENANT FIRST ERAP APPLICATION.

"Co-Respondent represents to the Court that she made a subsequent ERAP application. While Co-Respondent does not show proof of that in her order to
show cause, Co-Respondent shows the Court documentation this day Co-Respondent applied for
ERAP.
Assuming arguendo that Co-Respondent applied for ERAP after OTDA denied
Respondent's ERAP application, the wording of the statute compels a consideration of the effect of Respondent's prior ERAP application. As noted above, the statute stays eviction proceedings upon "a" determination of eligibility. The use of the indefinite article "a" in a statute as such
means "one or more." Cook v. Carmen S. Pariso, 287 A.D.2d 208, 213 (4th Dept. 2001). As there has already been at least one determination of eligibility for the "household" - the unit
which the statute defines as the applicant for ERAP benefits - then there has been "a" determination of eligibility and the event that effectuates a vacatur of the stay has already occurred. Accordingly, any stay incurred by ERAP is no longer in effect".

Judge Jack Stoller is fair and evenhanded-
His disposition is pleasant and he is just hard not to like. I wish every judge was exactly like judge Jack Stoller.
NYC is very fortunate to have an ethical and genuinely caring person behind the bench. Nothing but praise for Jack Stoller

I was actually on the winning side of my case but was still very unimpressed by Judge Stoller.
He wastes too much time permitting unnecessary adjournments and delays.

While at the bench he was focusing on something else on his computer screen, requiring both parties to have to repeat themselves multiple times. His decision had a number of inaccuracies (because he wasn't paying attention) that actually benefited my client. Obviously I did not complain, but if I were the opposing party I'd be pissed off.
The man should be sitting at a park bench feeding pigeons instead of being behind the courts bench.

This judge is in the pockets of major landlords in NYC...specifically the house Attorney for Sol Goldman Co was chatting it up with this crooked judge...talking about social events and their friendship...as Judge Stoller STOLE my rent stabilized apartment that was my home for more than 25 years because I committed the crime of taking care of my stroke paralyzed father and my cancer dying mother for a number of months during the most traumatic and tragic period that my family has ever experienced. During this time I paid my rent in full on my 46th street apartment and came back weekly as I escorted my dying mother to chemotherapy, to pain doctors and to hospitals...all the while caring for my Dad who could not even turn over in bed without help. Judge Stoller is a fraud who displayed his phony empathy as he appeared to listen to the evidence....yet when this heartless man delivered his decision he barely mentioned my mother, my father or the family tragedy that caused me to be away part of the time from my apartment. He also ignored clear case law that allows some a tenant to care for family away from his apartment during medical emergencies. Congratulations Judge Stoller. You managed to steal my home in order to jack up the rent rolls for your greedy landlord friend. Shame on you!

Following up on the persons comment below. I agree that Stoller writes decisions on the bench. That is b/c rather than paying attention to the case at hand, he is typing on his computer. Therefore, he is unable to fully hear/pay attention to what people are really saying.

Stoller permits squatters to routinely adjourn their case (without merit), which only backlogs the court system.

Please also note, that in the decisions he writes, he will fabricate facts that people say to fit the narration of the story he wants to hear b/c he was not paying attention to the case.

Judge Stoller is one of, if not the best judge in Housing Court (Manhattan). He is very efficient, even handed with both parties, cordial to attorneys and witnesses alike. Additionally, Judge Stoller always knows the relevant case and writes many decisions on the bench which speeds up an already overburdened court process. I wish we had another half dozen judges like Judge Stoller at 111 Centre Street.

Judge Jack Stoller ego is larger than courtroom. He is a self centered egoist with a hard edge that he works very hard to conceal. He make up his mind way too early with no amount of compelling evidence will change it. Not open-minded at all. He is arrogant judge who chaffs at anyone who dares suggest a different view. A very bad case of "robitis".. he Just barely bright enough but not committed to using his modest intellect for justice.

After months of mediations settlement hearings to finally get to my merits trail of my non-payment case. Unfortunately the Housing court moved me to judge stoller room. The judge made up his mind as soon as I entered the courtroom, I had over 100 HPD violations presented on my non-paymnet case; rats-water leaks-peeling paint on walls-broken door. The judge simply made up the law as it suits him - - I got screwed evicted after he was asking me to pay all rent owe with 2% reduction which is not fair to my case, on the other hand judge stoller did nothing to the landlord - no fines, 2% silly rent abatement. This is great way for him "to hide" that he protect the wealthy landlords.

Judge Stoller had no qualm evicting a tenant who presented clear evidence of a landlord-tenant relationship for over 6 years. It's shocking how hostile and rude he is to tenants, he is more interested in clearing his calendar than seeking justice!

it is very suspicious after Judge Jack Stoller was a Tenant lawyer for 10 years whom protecting tenants right. soon after he was elected to become a Judge in Housing court New York, he quickly turned to be on the other side in the favor of the Landlord. It's impossible to understand the majority of his cases in the favor of the landlord. Judge Jack Stoller is a compliant judge with the "other" side.

Just got the order/decision today, I will get evicted due to non-payment, I want to appeal and went to the supreme court, noticed by the court clerk, Jack Stoll, the judge even wrote the wrong spelling of my landlord. He is so rush to let the landlord proceed to evict me. This is totally not fair, however, I asked the order of show course and he just signed to restore the calendar but he signed the date to correct the wrong spelling at the end of the month, that will make my case hard to do appeal. So unfair.

I have been forced to litigate a case before Judge Stoller for over a year and a half. In a holdover proceeding where I paid the rent after the alleged lease term expired, and an illusory tenancy was created. I was not served notice to terminate my lease or a notice of petition. Judge Stoller is now the judge at trial. And there are now two cases combined at trial. The second case is a non-payment case I was also never served.

A traverse hearing was conducted. The witness testified he witnessed service on the wrong date. That was not the date on the Affidavit of Service. There was no photo of a notice taped on the door. The photo entered into evidence of the building. Opposing counsel cross examined the witness that claimed they witnessed the Notice of Petition taped on the door, based on the date for the Affidavit of Service for a Rent Demand. That was made by another process server. Everyone in the courtroom left court and openly said I defeated them at traverse. However, the judge ruled against me.

I was also initially concerned about him given certain facts. He seemed to be looking for a reason to uproot me from my home of 3 and a half years with no thought to making me homeless. I paid the rent after the alleged lease term expired by certificate of mailing. I was never served notice of termination. I was never served notice on non-payment. And no reason either case was not dismissed on the face. The law seems clear.

I also have not agreed with a number of his rulings and believe: (1) he (unfairly) denied my (substantial) arguments, mainly because he was throwing a bone to my (sorry, violent, abusive, but well-connected) opponent. That repeatedly lied under oath so many times it was transparent (2) he also reversed an earlier ruling of his own after he realized that this ruling would decide the case in my favor and against my opponent (3) and the judge and I got into some very bitter (read "personal" and "vicious") arguments. It was a court trial and he was obviously not fazed in the least by the notion his decisions could make me homeless in the middle of the worst housing crisis without valid cause. However, it seems the judge is building a false record to force me to take it up on appeal.

I litigated several landlord tenant cases in front of Judge Stoller. I was very concerned initially about him given certain facts. However, he's a nice guy who is smart, he tries to find out the law and apply it fairly. He does not go beyond what he feels the law permits. I did not agree with all of his rulings and believe: (1) he (unfairly) denied my (substantial) attorney fee request after I won the LT trial on the merits, mainly because he was throwing a bone to my (sorry, arrogant, but well-connected) opponent and (2) he unfairly reversed an earlier ruling of his own after he realized that this ruling would decide the case in my favor and against my opponent. Other than that, I felt like he fairly considered my legal arguments during the four day trial, even when we attorneys got into some very bitter (read "personal" and "vicious") arguments. I actually think he should not have allowed our arguments to get so aggressive (particularly opposing counsel's). But it was a court trial and he was obviously not seriously fazed in the least by our attacks upon each other. I enjoyed trying my case in front of him (and greatly enjoyed destroying my opponent's stupid arguments and case, who I would greatly enjoy seeing buried face first in the sand of the nearest beach until that ugly smirk is wiped completely from his face and his soft, overweight body goes limp).
