Goldman-Copeland Assocs. P.C. v. Goodstein Bros. & Co., Inc

In Goldman-Copeland Assocs. P.C. v. Goodstein Bros. & Co., Inc., 268 AD2d 370 (1st Dept. 2000) it was held that where the landlord gave the tenant detailed yearly porter wage escalation statements in which the same methodology was used consistently, and the tenant paid the amounts due without protest, then the claim of an overcharge accrued upon the receipt by the tenant of the first statement which, in that case, was 12 years before it commenced the action and thus barred by the statute of limitations.
