Angel Ferreras, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. NY (2026)

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, New York,

Angel Ferreras, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Department of Hous. Preserv. & Dev. for the City of NY, Defendant-Appellant.

570178 /26.

Decided: April 15, 2026

PRESENT: Brigantti, J.P., Tisch, Alpert, JJ.

Per Curiam.

Order (Betty Lugo-Martinez, J.), dated May 13, 2025, reversed, without costs, motion granted and the complaint dismissed. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly.

This action by plaintiff property owner, challenging certain Department of Housing Preservation and Development [HPD] relocation charges on his property tax bill, should have been dismissed on defendant's motion pursuant to CPLR 3211(a) (2). Any challenge to the inclusion of HPD relocation charges on a property tax bill must be brought by way of a CPLR article 78 proceeding in Supreme Court (see Administrative Code of City of NY § 26-305 [4] [d] [4]; CPLR § 7804 [b]; Matter of 2406 Realty LLC v Department of Hous. Preserv. & Dev. for City of NY, 233 AD3d 469 [2024]).

In view of our determination, we reach no other issue.
