In the Matter of ROBERT SMALL, Appellant, v. CITY OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF SANITATION et al., Respondents.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Generally, judicial review of an administrative determination made after a hearing required by law, and at which evidence was taken, is limited to whether that determination is supported by substantial evidence ( see CPLR 7803; 300 Gramatan Ave. Assoc., v State Div. of Human Rights, 45 NY2d 176, 179; Matter of 105 Northgate Coop, v Donaldson, 54 AD3d 414, 416; Matter of New Venture Gear Inc. v New York State Div. of Human Rights, 41 AD3d 1265, 1266). Here, the petitioner seeks review of an administrative determination made by the New York City Environmental Control Board (hereinafter the ECB) after a hearing required by law, and at which evidence was taken ( see CPLR 7803). However, the petition does not challenge the ECB's determination on the ground that it was unsupported by substantial evidence, but alleges only constitutional violations and other legal error. Accordingly, our review is limited to whether the ECB's determination was arbitrary and capricious because it exceeded the ECB's statutory "authority or [was made] in violation of the Constitution or the laws of this State" ( Matter of Pasieka v New York City Tr. Auth., 31 AD3d 769, 770; see Matter of New York City Dept. of Envtl. Protection v New York City Civ. Serv. Commn., 78 NY2d 318, 324; Matter of Lipani v New York State Div. of Human Rights, 56 AD3d 560, 561).

The petitioner failed to establish that the ECB's determination exceeded its statutory authority or was made in violation of the Constitution or the laws of this State. Thus, the Supreme Court properly denied the petition and, in effect, dismissed the proceeding ( see Matter of Pasieka v New York City Tr. Auth., 31 AD3d at 770; cf. Matter of Lipani v New York State Div. of Human Rights, 56 AD3d at 561).
