In re Robin COLLAZO, Petitioner–Appellant, v. The NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, Respondent–Respondent.
Robin Collazo, appellant pro se. Sonya M. Kaloyanides, New York (Melissa Renwick of counsel), for respondent.
Robin Collazo, appellant pro se. Sonya M. Kaloyanides, New York (Melissa Renwick of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Manuel J. Mendez, J.), entered December 30, 2010, inter alia, denying the petition to annul respondent's determination, dated June 17, 2009, which denied petitioner succession rights as a remaining family member to his deceased mother's apartment, and dismissing the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Respondent's determination that petitioner does not qualify as a remaining family member because he never obtained respondent's written permission to return to residence in his mother's apartment is based upon a fair interpretation of respondent's rules and regulations and is not arbitrary and capricious ( see e.g. Matter of Johnson v. New York City Hous. Auth., 50 A.D.3d 438, 855 N.Y.S.2d 489 [2008] ).
We have considered petitioner's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
