In the Matter of City of New York, et al.,

petitioners.

(Index No. 80114/10)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Application by the petitioners pursuant to CPLR 5704(a) to vacate an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Minardo, J.), dated April 29, 2010, which denied their ex parte application for an order authorizing an administrative inspection of the premises known as 320 Broadway, Staten Island, New York, 10310, Black 207, Lot 67.

ORDERED that the application pursuant to CPLR 5704(a) is granted, the order dated April 29, 2010, is vacated, the petitioners' application for an order authorizing an administrative inspection of the subject premises is granted, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Richmond County, for the entry of an appropriate order authorizing an administrative inspection of the subject premises.

The petitioners' submissions in support of their application established probable cause to justify the issuance of a warrant of inspection (see Camara v Municipal Court of City and County of San Francisco, 387 US 523; Matter of Lacatena (Department of Agric. & Mkts. of State of N.Y.), 173 AD2d 952, 953; R & L Distribs. v Wickham, 36 AD2d 884, 885). Accordingly, the Supreme Court should have granted the petitioners' application for an order authorizing an administrative inspection of the subject premises.

FISHER, J.P., HALL, AUSTIN and SGROI, JJ., concur.

Clerk of the Court
