In the Matter of William C. Young v. Board of Trustees of the Village of Blasdell

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the four‑month statute of limitations for SEQRA violations began when the Village Board approved the lease in December 1993, making the petitioners' challenge untimely, and that the challenge to the September 1994 negative declaration is moot because the DEC has assumed lead‑agency responsibility. The Court therefore affirmed the lower court’s order with costs.
