Lobis J.], entered February 5, 2016), unanimously dismissed, without costs.

Substantial evidence supports respondents’ determination that a member of petitioner’s household engaged in drug-related criminal activity from her apartment in respondents’ facility, and that petitioner was aware of the drug activity (see 300 Gramatan Ave. Assoc. v. State Div. of Human Rights, 45 NY2d 176, 180-182 [1978]). Police records indicated that a confidential informant bought illegal drugs from a member of petitioner’s household in the apartment on four occasions during the late afternoon and evening, and police recovered drugs and drug paraphernalia, including a scale, bags, rubber bands and a coffee grinder, all with heroin residue, in the apartment.
