Defendants met their initial burden of establishing that the venue chosen by plaintiff's in this medical malpractice action was improper ( see Hernandez v Seminatore, 48 AD3d 260). Defendants were located in Queens County, the alleged malpractice occurred in Queens County, and the medical records reflect that just weeks prior to the commencement of this action, plaintiff's lived at a Queens County address. This address did not match plaintiffs' purported Bronx address listed on the summons, which was misspelled and did not include a zip code. In opposition, plaintiff's failed to provide supporting documentation establishing their residency in Bronx County ( see id.; Goldberg v Bierman, 35 AD3d 807). Furthermore, contrary to plaintiff's contention, the court was not required to conduct a hearing prior to deciding the subject motion ( compare Rivera v Jensen, 307 AD2d 229, 230).
