Synopsis

Nonpayment proceeding settled November 2025; final judgment entered by stipulation March 2026. Respondent defaulted on the stipulation due to unexplained delays by Bronxworks APS in processing her CITYFHEPS application—delays compounded when DSS/HRA notified her of an approval that turned out to be erroneous and opened a "rent review" investigation its own attorney could not explain in court. Respondent moved on an OSC for joinder of APS and DSS/HRA under NYC CCA §110(d) and a stay of execution. Court grants joinder, finding that formal party status will yield the required information more efficiently than a subpoena to DSS's Office of Legal Affairs; case adjourned to October 20, 2026 for all parties to appear with updates; all stays remain in effect.
