Romero v. Martinez

In Romero v. Martinez, 280 AD2d 58, 64, 721 N.Y.S.2d 17 1st dept, 2001, the court explained "if a family member presents a threat to the tenant's neighbors when he resides there, he is no less of a threat when he comes to visit. While the tenant cannot be answerable for the conduct of her emancipated child . . . she may be held responsible for her own decision to permit the emancipated child to enter and stay in the apartment" (Romero, supra, 280 AD2d at 63).
