v

Department of Housing, Preservation and Development of the City of New York, Lienor-Respondent.




Rose & Rose, New York (David P. Haberman of counsel), for appellant.

James E. Johnson, Corporation Counsel, New York (Nwamaka Ejebe of counsel), for respondent.



Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Melissa A. Crane, J.), entered June 15, 2020, which denied petitioner's motion for an order discharging the notice of lien filed by respondent, granted respondent's cross motion to dismiss the petition, and dismissed the petition, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

The petition was properly dismissed.

Co.,
