IN RE: Application of PARKWAY VILLAGE EQUITIES CORPORATION, Petitioner-Appellant, For a Judgment, etc., v. BOARD OF STANDARDS AND APPEALS OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Respondent-Respondent, The Bahar Group, LLC, et al., Additional Respondents-Respondents.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Paula Omansky, J.), entered on or about June 19, 2000, which denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding, brought pursuant to CPLR article 78, to vacate a resolution of respondent Board of Standards and Appeals of the City of New York dated February 15, 2000, which reversed a determination of additional respondent Department of Buildings of the City of New York revoking building permits issued to additional respondent Bahar Group, LLC, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The authority charged with enforcing New York City Zoning Resolution § 12-10 is respondent Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA), and since the questions raised concerning the application of that Zoning Resolution related to BSA's expertise, the court properly accorded the BSA's interpretation of the relevant subdivisions of Zoning Resolution §§ 12-10 (Zoning Lot, subds. [a], [d] ) “great weight and judicial deference”, such interpretation having been “neither irrational, unreasonable nor inconsistent with the governing statutes” (Matter of Trump-Equitable Fifth Ave. Co. v. Gliedman, 62 N.Y.2d 539, 545, 478 N.Y.S.2d 846, 467 N.E.2d 510; accord, Matter of Toys “R” Us v. Silva, 89 N.Y.2d 411, 418-419, 654 N.Y.S.2d 100, 676 N.E.2d 862).
We have considered petitioner's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
