Since landlord did not serve a notice of default prior to serving the notice of termination, the conditional limitation was not properly invoked and therefore, this summary proceeding was properly dismissed (<i>see TSS-Seedman's, Inc. v Elota Realty Co., </i>72 NY2d 1024 [1988]; <i>Miller v Levi,</i> 44 NY 489 [1871]; <i>see also </i>2 Robert F.
