Belok v. New York City Department of Housing Preservation & Development
Opinion of the Court
Petitioner was not entitled to an evidentiary hearing. The regulatory agreement under which he sought succession rights does not provide for a hearing, and the procedures adhered to by HPD afforded petitioner due process (see Quan, 70 AD3d at 528). The evidence petitioner claims he would have provided at an evidentiary hearing could have been provided as documentary evidence, and petitioner does not assert that he was denied an opportunity to submit such evidence (see Matter of Mayfield v Esplanade Gardens, Inc., 30 AD3d 296 [2006], appeal dismissed 7 NY3d 864 [2006]).
The record does not support petitioner’s claim that HPD or Supreme Court discriminated against him because he lived in the subject apartment while his wife and children lived in Dutchess County. HPD and the court merely found that petitioner had not proved that he engaged in that living arrangement for the relevant time period.
Petitioner’s motion to renew and reargue raised no new facts and is therefore properly viewed as one for reargument only, the denial of which is not appealable (Pizarro v Evergreen Estates Hous., 5 AD3d 143, 143-144 [2004]). Concur — Mazzarelli, J.R, Sweeny, Moskowitz, Acosta and Abdus-Salaam, JJ.
