SSM No. 10
The failure of authorities to issue a violation of the
New York City Noise Control Code (see Administrative Code of City
of NY § 24–201 et seq.), by itself, does not preclude plaintiff
from establishing that it is likely to succeed on the merits. 
However, it cannot be said on this record that the imposition of
a provisional remedy is required as a matter of law.  Therefore,
the case should be remitted to the Appellate Division for the
exercise of its discretion. 
We have considered appellants' other contention, and
determine that it lacks merit.*

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules,
order modified, without costs, by remitting to the Appellate
Division, First Department, for further proceedings in accordance
with the memorandum herein and, as so modified, affirmed.
Certified question answered in the negative. Chief Judge Lippman
and Judges Ciparick, Graffeo, Read, Smith, Pigott and Jones concur.
Decided March 31, 2011
*  Respondent West 63 Empire Associates, LLC, is not
eligible for affirmative relief in this appeal and we express no
view on the arguments it has made in that regard (see Visiting
Nurse Service v New York State Dept. of Health, 5 NY3d 499, 507
[2005]).
