In the Matter of Chaya K. Administration for Children’s Services, Respondent; Allen K., Appellant, et al., Respondent. (Proceeding No. 1.) In the Matter of Rivah K. Administration for Children’s Services, Respondent; Allen K., Appellant, et al., Respondent. (Proceeding No. 2.) In the Matter of Baby Girl D. Administration for Children’s Services, Respondent; Allen K., Appellant, et al., Respondent. (Proceeding No. 3.)
    [50 NYS3d 304]
   Appeal by the father from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (llana Gruebel, J.), dated December 31, 2015. The order, insofar as appealed from, after a hearing, granted the petitioner’s application pursuant to Family Court Act § 1027 to place the child Baby Girl D. in the custody of the petitioner pending the outcome of the neglect proceedings.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

After a hearing, the Family Court properly granted the petitioner’s application pursuant to Family Court Act § 1027 to temporarily remove the child Baby Girl D. from the parents’ care and place her in the custody of the petitioner pending the outcome of the neglect proceedings. There was a sound and substantial basis in the record for the court’s determination that removal was necessary to avoid imminent risk to the child’s life or health, and that the risk could not be mitigated by reasonable efforts short of removal (see Family Ct Act § 1027; Nicholson v Scoppetta, 3 NY3d 357, 378 [2004]).

Chambers, J.P., Austin, Roman and Barros, JJ., concur.
