Submitted March 20, 2000.
May 1, 2000.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the Deputy Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Planning, dated February 23, 1998, which, after a hearing, terminated the petitioner's assistance from the Section 8 Housing Assistance Program (see, 42 U.S.C. § 1437f[b][1]).
Barbara Finkelstein, White Plains, N.Y. (Jill C. Bradshaw-Soto of counsel; Rosanna Perretta on the brief), for petitioner.
Alan D. Scheinkman, County Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Stacey Dolgin-Kmetz and Thomas G. Gardiner of counsel), for respondents.
LAWRENCE J. BRACKEN, J.P., CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION JUDGMENT
ADJUDGED that the determination is confirmed, the petition is denied, and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.
The record contains substantial evidence to support the respondents' determination discontinuing the petitioner's Section 8 benefits (see, Matter of Pell v. Board of Educ., 34 N.Y.2d 222, 231; Langton v. Rutkoske, 252 A.D.2d 504). In addition, the notice of termination adequately apprised the petitioner of the violations upon which her termination from the program was based (see, Chase v. Binghampton Hous. Auth., 91 A.D.2d 1147; Matter of Colon v. Blum, 81 A.D.2d 637).
BRACKEN, J.P., O'BRIEN, KRAUSMAN and GOLDSTEIN, JJ., concur.
