The opinion emphasizes (supra, at 44) that the petition was verified by petitioner’s attorney, not by the landlord. While RPAPL 741 permits a petition to be verified by the attorney for the landlord, it is well settled that an affidavit of counsel is of no probative value for purposes of summary determination (Hasbrouck v City of Gloversville, 102 AD2d 905, affd 63 NY2d 916; Farragut Gardens No. 5 v Milrot, 23 AD2d 889) unless accompanied by documentary evidence (Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 NY2d 557, 563). While the facts in Park Holding (supra) do not justify inquest, the facial insufficiency in the pleadings and accompanying affidavits did warrant the submission of "additional proof’ in the form of an affidavit from someone in the position of landlord or managing agent, attesting to the amount of rent currently due and owing (CPLR 409 [a]). Given the statistics cited in that case regarding the frequency with which summary proceedings are discontinued because rent has been tendered or the matter otherwise settled (145 Misc 2d, supra, at 42, n 1), the submission of such an affidavit at the time default judgment is requested is a procedure which has much to commend it.
