In re Justin MARTINEZ, Petitioner–Appellant, v. The NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS, Respondent–Respondent.
Casella & Casella, LLP, Staten Island (Ralph P. Casella of counsel), for appellant. Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Ingrid R. Gustafson of counsel), for respondent.
Casella & Casella, LLP, Staten Island (Ralph P. Casella of counsel), for appellant. Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Ingrid R. Gustafson of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Cynthia S. Kern, J.), entered April 2, 2013, denying the petition to annul respondent's determination, dated May 31, 2012, which denied petitioner's application for a master fire suppression piping contractor license, and dismissing the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Respondent's denial of petitioner's application for a master fire suppression piping contractor's license was not arbitrary and capricious ( see Matter of Tsamos v Department of Citywide Admin. Servs., 107 A.D.3d 604, 968 N.Y.S.2d 474 [1st Dept.2013]; Matter of Padmore v. New York City Dept. of Bldgs., 106 A.D.3d 453, 965 N.Y.S.2d 862 [1st Dept.2013] ). The submissions accompanying the application established that petitioner had not had the requisite seven years of full-time work experience ( seeAdministrative Code of the City of New York § 28–410.4.1[1]; 1 RCNY § 104–01[c] ).
In light of the foregoing, we do not reach petitioner's remaining contention. FRIEDMAN, J.P., SWEENY, ACOSTA, SAXE, MANZANET–DANIELS, JJ., concur.
