Opinion
December 19, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Levitt, J.).
Ordered that the order and judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The petitioner did not effectuate service upon a person designated in CPLR 312 to receive service. Therefore, the service in this case was ineffective to confer personal jurisdiction over the respondent Zoning Board of Appeals of the Incorporated Village of Valley Stream despite the purported statements by employees at the Valley Stream Village Hall directing the process server to serve another employee of the Incorporated Village of Valley Stream (see, Matter of Heinisch v Goehringer, 121 A.D.2d 721; see generally, Broman v Stern, 172 A.D.2d 475, 476; cf., Matter of Franz v Board of Educ., 112 A.D.2d 934).
In light of our determination, we need not reach the petitioner's remaining contentions. Mangano, P.J., Thompson, Bracken and Altman, JJ., concur.
