Order, Family Court, Bronx County (Sarah P. Cooper, J.), entered on or about October 12, 2018, which, inter alia, after a hearing, found that respondent father neglected the subject child Keenan S., unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The finding of neglect is supported by a preponderance of the evidence (see Family Ct Act §§ 1012 [f] [i] [B]; 1046 [b] [i]). The record shows that the child was subject to actual or imminent danger of impairment to his emotional and mental condition due to his exposure to incidents of domestic violence by the father against the mother (see Matter of Andru G. [Jasmine C.], 156 AD3d 456 [1st Dept 2017]; Matter of Serenity H. [Tasha S.], 132 AD3d 508 [1st Dept 2015]). There exists no basis to disturb the court's credibility determinations (see Matter of Irene O., 38 NY2d 776, 777 [1975]). Concur—Richter, J.P., Manzanet-Daniels, Gesmer, Singh, JJ.
