In the Matter of 97 Columbia Heights Housing Corp., Respondent, v Board of Estimate of the City of New York et al., Appellants. Brooklyn Heights Association, Intervenor-Appellant.
    Decided February 13, 1986
    
      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Frederick A. O. Schwarz, Jr., Corporation Counsel (Gillian Sacks of counsel), for appellants.
    
      Domenick L. Gabrielli and J. Daniel Mahoney for respondent.
    
      John Moss Hinchcliff for intervenor-appellant.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.4), order affirmed, with costs. Special Term properly concluded that the New York City Board of Estimate erred in overturning a determination of the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals. The Board of Estimate’s review powers are limited to whether there is substantial evidence to support the Board of Standards and Appeals determination (NY City Charter § 668 [c]). Review of the record demonstrates that substantial evidence supports the Board of Standards and Appeals determination (Victory Blvd. Assoc. v City of New York, 58 NY2d 900).
