but the judge didn’t give the tenant a fair and impartial treatment
If you believe the judge acted unfairly, you can consider an appeal. In New York, you'd file a Notice of Appeal, but keep in mind:
- Appeals must be based on legal errors, not factual disputes.
- There's a *-day time limit to appeal from the date of the judgement.
- Appeals can be costly and time-consuming.
but how can a judge dismiss a case right after a huge evidence is brought to the case
A judge might dismiss a case even after significant evidence is introduced if:
- The evidence is deemed irrelevant or inadmissible.
- The case is no longer viable due to other legal reasons.
- The judge believes the evidence doesn't support the claim sufficiently.
Remember, a dismissal doesn't prevent bringing the evidence in a separate proceeding.
It wasn’t the case
Can you provide more details about why you believe the dismissal was unwarranted? Understanding the nature of the evidence and the judge's reasoning can help to clarify the situation.
It was a new judge. Not the same that was presiding the past appearances. She said she don’t even read the case but it was going for too long. That was the reasoning
That sounds frustrating. In New York, a change in judges shouldn't affect the impartiality of a case. However, if you feel the judge's behavior was inappropriate, you can file a complaint with the Commission on Judicial Conduct. Would you like information on how to do this?

To find out the judge's name, you can check the court records. The judge's name is usually mentioned in the court documents. Alternatively, you can contact the court clerk's office where your case was heard. Would you like the contact information for the New York City Housing Court?
