Description
Judgment unanimously reversed, without costs, and matter remitted to Special Term for further proceedings in accordance with the following memorandum: Petitioner and her four minor children lived at 26 Wilson Street, Lackawanna, New York, from October, 1972 until October, 1973. Although she was receiving a monthly allowance for fuel as part of her public assistance check from the Erie County Department of Social Services, she claims that she received no fuel bill from the Iroquois Gas Corporation until June, 1973 at which time she was billed $239 for nine months of service. When petitioner moved to 95-B Wilmuth Avenue, Lackawanna, New York, in the latter part of 1973, the bill remained unpaid. In May, 1974 the Department of Social Services informed her that they would not pay the delinquent bill and, as a result, on July 11, 1974 petitioners gas service was discontinued. The stoppage of gas service resulted in a loss of proper cooking and heating facilities, which constitutes destitution and thereby an emergency situation under section 350-j of the New York Social Services Law [47 A.D.2d 593 Page 594]
