Communications and information relating to persons receiving public assistance and held by a Department of Social Services are confidential (Social Services Law § 136; 18 NYCRR 357.3), and plaintiff failed to show that it was entitled to the confidential records under a specific regulatory exception (see Matter of Commissioner of Social Servs. v Paul C., 73 AD3d 469, 470 [2010], affd 16 NY3d 846 [2011]; D & Z Holding Corp. v City of N.Y. Dept. of Fin., 179 AD2d 796, 798 [1992], lv denied 79 NY2d 758 [1992]). Concur — Saxe, J.P, Sweeny, Acosta, DeGrasse and Abdus-Salaam, JJ.
