Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, entered May 3, 1973, which directed the City of New York to give notice whether or not a certificate of occupancy will issue; denied any further stay of a pending summary proceeding initiated by the landlord; and dismissed the petition against the noncity respondents without prejudice, affirmed without costs or disbursements. Petitioner, a nonprofit consumer cooperative, is a tenant in a building owned by one of the noncity respondents. There were'several temporary certificates of occupancy issued for the premises, but the latest one has expired. The landlord instituted a summary proceeding against the tenant for nonpayment of rent. In this article 78 proceeding, the petitioner sought, inter alia, to obtain an order directing the City of New York to issue a certificate of occupancy and further sought a stay of the summary proceedings pending, as well as a declaration of the right of the petitioner tenant to quiet enjoyment. It is to be noted that the relief requested against the noncity respondents is already encompassed in a pending declaratory judgment action, naming only the noncity respondents as defendants. Furthermore, the full relief obtainable against the City of New York has already been granted by Special Term. Therefore, joinder of the article 78 proceeding with the declaratory judgment action would not, as our dissenting brother suggests, make the city a party defendant or ameliorate the procedural morass engendered by the petitioner. In any event, the course of this litigation was charted by the petitioner and the court cannot now be called upon to suggest alternative procedures which it feels would be moré suitable vehicles for this litigation (cf. Matter of Malloy, 278 N. Y. 429; Stevenson v. News Syndicate Co., 302 N. Y. 81, 87; Reilly v. Insurance Co. of North Amer., 32 A D 2d 918).
