Court of Appeals of New York

The statute of limitations begins to run with respect to a tenant's legal challenge to a termination of Section 8 benefits by respondent New York City Housing Authority upon the tenant's receipt of a "T-3 letter," regardless of whether NYCHA has proven that it mailed other notices required by the consent judgment to be sent to the tenant before the T-3 letter. Because petitioners did not commence these proceedings within four months of their receipt of the respective T-3 letters, their petitions are dismissed.
