In Altidort v. Louis (287 AD2d 669 [2d Dept 2001] the plaintiff's stated basis for venue in Kings County was defendant's address for service of process. But plaintiff also produced defendant's certificate of incorporation which showed Kings as the county in which its principal office was located. The court stated that it is well settled law that the sole residence of a domestic corporation for venue purposes is the county designated in its certificate of incorporation, despite its maintenance of an office or facility in another county (Altidort, 287 AD2d at 670). Therefore, the basis for the court's holding that venue was proper in Kings County was not because the address for service of process was located in Kings County, but because the certificate of incorporation had Kings County as the county of defendant's principal place of business.
