Weather and Housing Court:
If you miss your court date because of bad weather conditions, on some days the courts reschedule without defaulting people. On those days, the court will send you a notice telling you of your new court date. You can look on ecourts (https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/housing/) and find the new date for your case. You will need the index number or the name of the parties. You can also go to the clerk’s office information window and find out your new court date.
