Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided February 9, 2012
92 A.D.3d 470; 937 N.Y.2d 851
Cubilete v. Morales

Opinion of the Court

The hearing officer’s findings of willful misrepresentation, nonverifiable income and breach of rules and regulations are supported by substantial evidence. Moreover, given petitioner’s misconduct over a four-year period, the penalty of termination does not shock one’s sense of fairness, notwithstanding the hardship to petitioner (see Matter of Bland v New York City Hous. Auth., 72 AD3d 528, 528 [2010]; Matter of Smith v New York City Hous. Auth., 40 AD3d 235 [2007], lv denied 9 NY3d 816 [2007]).

We have considered petitioner’s remaining contentions and *471find them unavailing. Concur — Tom, J.E, Mazzarelli, Renwick, Freedman and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
