213 A.D.2d 297 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

624 N.Y.S.2d 35

Opinion

March 23, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Howard Silver, J.).

Renewal should have been granted based on plaintiff's joinder as third-party defendant in another, related Bronx County action, after the court's decision had been handed down. This circumstance, however, does not alter the result. Venue should be in New York County because none of the parties reside in Bronx County (CPLR 503), defendant Housing Authority's principal office is in New York County (CPLR 505), and the instant action was instituted before the other action (Maciejko v. Jarvis, 99 A.D.2d 799).
