Description

[48 A.D.2d 947 Page 947] The decision challenged in this proceeding was rendered by the board on October 16, 1973 and later filed twice in the office of the Town Clerk, on October 29, 1973 when an employee of the town building department filed a photocopy thereof and on November 7, 1973 when the board's attorney filed the original signed ribbon copy.

Furthermore, it is likewise clear that the board failed to raise the defense of the Statute of Limitations either in its answer or by motion to dismiss. In such circumstances, we deem the defense to be waived (CPLR 3211, subd [e]; Matter of Ambrosio v Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Town of Huntington, 196 Misc 1005; Spanierman v Crescent Plaza Corp., 58 N.Y.S.2d 322, affd 270 App Div 885), and it makes no difference that respondent Aragona did raise it in his answer because, as a non-municipal correspondent, the defense was not [48 A.D.2d 947 Page 948]
