MEMORANDUM:
The judgment of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, without
costs.
Petitioner claims her eviction should be annulled because it was based
on acts committed by her son, and her testimony that he moved out of
her apartment six months before the hearing was not rebutted by
respondent. Substantial evidence in the record, however, supports
respondent's determination to terminate petitioner's tenancy on the
ground of non-desirability (see, Matter of Woody v Franco, 260 AD2d
186, lv denied , 94 NY2d 754). The record reveals the tenancy was
terminated as a result of petitioner's own conduct, not that of her
son. Similarly, the cases cited by petitioner are distinguishable in
that they involved criminal activity by an "offender" other than the
tenant. Petitioner's contention that she was denied due process is
unpreserved for review.
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules,
judgment affirmed, without costs, in a memorandum. Chief Judge Kaye
and Judges Smith, Levine, Ciparick, Wesley, Rosenblatt and Graffeo
concur.
