In these 10 consolidated appeals, defendant Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority) argues that plaintiffs’ selection of Bronx County for venue purposes is improper. Citing CPLR 505(a), Port Authority argues that plaintiffs failed to show that it had a principal office in Bronx County or that the complained of injuries arose in Bronx County facilities owned by it. However, CPLR 505(a) is inapplicable and McKinney’s Unconsolidated Laws of NY §7106, as added by L 1950, ch 301, §6 applies (see Bollman v. Port Auth. of N.Y. and N.J., 17 AD3d 182 [1st Dept. 2005]).
