Opinion
November 9, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Martin Schoenfeld, J.).
The court properly exercised its discretion in denying respondent-appellant-landlord's motion to renew as movant failed to offer a reasonable excuse for not previously submitting to respondent Division of Housing and Community Renewal its DC-2 form in conjunction with petitioner's Fair Market Rent Appeal ( see, Foley v Roche, 68 A.D.2d 558, 568). The form was ultimately located in landlord's own stored file. This proceeding has now been pending since 1984. It is time for it to be put to rest.
Concur — Rosenberger, J.P., Rubin, Kupferman and Williams, JJ.
