In L&F Realty Co v. Kazama, NYLJ, Nov. 26, 1997 at 31 col 1 [Civ Ct, NY County 1997] the court denied the petitioner's motion for an order dispensing with the requirement to submit an affidavit setting forth the military status of the respondent where the petitioner submitted an affidavit from its managing agent in which the managing agent averred that it had visited the respondent's apartment on five separate occasions in its unsuccessful attempt to personally inquire as to his military status. The affidavit further stated that neither the managing agent nor the building superintendent had ever seen the respondent in a military uniform and that they "had no reason to believe" that respondent was in military service.
