16-516/517. 720 WEST PARTNERS, LLC, pet-land-res, v. MARIA ALVAREZ, res-tent-app -AND- “JOHN DOE” AND “JANE DOE,” res-und — Order (Arlene H. Hahn, J.), entered on or about April 29, 2015, affirmed, without costs. Appeal from order (Jean T. Schneider, J.), dated May 13, 2016, dismissed, without costs, as abandoned.

The evidence adduced at the hearing amply supports Civil Court’s determination that tenant breached the two-attorney, so-ordered stipulation settling the underlying nuisance holdover proceeding. Landlord’s witnesses — six building residents and the superintendent — testified that tenant repeatedly violated paragraph 7 of the stipulation by failing to accompany her permanently-excluded, adult son, Carlos, into and out of the building when he visited, and allowing him to stay in her apartment overnight. Indeed, tenant acknowledged in her own testimony that she did not always escort Carlos out of the building after he visited the apartment. While the tenant cannot be answerable for the conduct of her adult child, or for his decisions regarding where to go, she may be held responsible for her own conduct in violation of the stipulation (see Matter of Romero v. Martinez, 280 AD2d 58, 63 [2001], lv denied 96 NY2d 721 [2001]).
