In the Matter of Manhattan Plaza Associates v. Department of Housing Preservation and Development of the City of New York
Decision Date | 15 June 2004 |
Docket Number | 3891. |
Citation | 2004 NY Slip Op 05153,778 N.Y.S.2d 164,8 A.D.3d 111 |
Parties | In the Matter of MANHATTAN PLAZA ASSOCIATES, L.P., Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Respondent, et al., Respondents. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Petitioner contends that the DHPD regulation which permitted a family member not listed on the annual certifications to rebut the presumption that he or she did not live in the apartment (former 28 RCNY 3-02 [p]), violated the purpose of the federal section 8 legislation (42 USC § 1437f), as interpreted by the Court of Appeals in Matter of Evans v Franco (93 NY2d 823 [1999]). We disagree. While Evans held that an agency was not required to hold a hearing to determine the status of a family member who was not listed on certification forms, it does not stand for the proposition that a state agency may never hold a hearing to permit an occupant to rebut the presumption arising by reason of not having been listed on the relevant certification forms. We note that the applicable federal regulations do not mandate any procedure with respect to eviction of tenants in section 8 housing (see 24 CFR part 983). The challenged regulation, which permits an applicant to establish that he or she is a bona fide family member entitled to succession rights, does not frustrate the purpose of section 8 law, which, by recognizing the entire family as the tenant (see 42 USC § 1437a), seeks to encourage family cohesion.
