last known residence or to the place of business of the partnership.
Proof of such service shall be filed within twenty days with the clerk
of the court designated in the summons; service shall be complete ten

Pena v Bros, 2009 NY Slip Op 03674 (App. Div., 1st, 2009)
The motion court properly granted the motion and determined that a
traverse hearing was not warranted. The record establishes that
plaintiff failed to meet her burden of showing that defendant was
served in accordance with the requirements of CPLR 310(b). The
affidavit of service averred that the "managing agent" of defendant was
served, but not that the summons and complaint were mailed to the
partnership's place of business or the last known home address of the
member of the partnership to be served (CPLR 310[b]; see also Tadir Air v FGH Realty, 297 AD2d 230 [2002]; Persaud v Teaneck Nursing Ctr., 290 AD2d 350 [2002]).
