OPINION OF THE COURT
Wesley, J.
These related appeals challenge the validity of a sublease of a hospital operated by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) to a for-profit entity pursuant to the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (Act). Although several issues are raised, the threshold question is: does the Act permit the City to sublease Coney Island Hospital and turn over its operations and service obligations to PHS New York, Inc., a private entity? Like the courts below, we conclude that the statute precludes the proposed transaction.
