Opinion
Decided July 10, 2001.
Appeal, by permission of a justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, from an order of that court, entered September 21, 2000, which, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to the Appellate Division by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Bronx County), confirmed a determination of respondent terminating petitioner's tenancy on the ground of nondesirability, denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.
Bruno Bianchi, for appellant.
Elyse Hilton, for respondent.
Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Smith, Levine, Ciparick, Wesley, Rosenblatt and Graffeo concur.
MEMORANDUM
The judgment of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, without costs.
Petitioner claims her eviction should be annulled because it was based on acts committed by her son, and her testimony that he moved out of her apartment six months before the hearing was not rebutted by respondent. Substantial evidence in the record, however, supports respondent's determination to terminate petitioner's tenancy on the ground of non-desirability (see, Matter of Woody v. Franco, 260 A.D.2d 186, lv denied 94 N.Y.2d 754). The record reveals the tenancy was terminated as a result of petitioner's own conduct, not that of her son. Similarly, the cases cited by petitioner are distinguishable in that they involved criminal activity by an "offender" other than the tenant. Petitioner's contention that she was denied due process is unpreserved for review.
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules, judgment affirmed, without costs, in a memorandum.
