Opinion

July 20, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Posner, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

It is well settled that in reviewing the judgment appealed from, this Court is limited to the question of whether the determination of the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (hereinafter the DHCR) was arbitrary and capricious and without rational support (see, Matter of Waljoy Realty Co. v. New York State Div. of Hous. Community Renewal, 242 A.D.2d 635; Matter of Duke 367 Realty Corp. v. Aponte, 240 A.D.2d 667; Matter of Mazel Real Estate v. Mirabal, 138 A.D.2d 600).

Here, the petitioner never submitted to the DHCR proof of the rents collected for the subject apartment, even though it received notice that such documentation was required from the base rent date through the date that the complaining tenant took occupancy. The decision of the DHCR to roll back the rent on the subject apartment was therefore not arbitrary and capricious (see, Matter of 61 Jane St. Assocs. v. New York Conciliation Appeals Bd., 65 N.Y.2d 898; Matter of Baig v. State Div. of Hous. Community Renewal, 201 A.D.2d 726; Matter of Mazel Real Estate v. Mirabal, supra).

The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit.

Bracken, J. P., Pizzuto, Altman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
