instance, by the agency. Similarly, section 26-408 (f), which provides that orders granting a certificate of eviction "shall be subject to judicial review only in the manner prescribed by [State enabling act § 1 (8) (codified at McKinney’s Uncons Laws of NY § 8608) (mandating article 78 review)],” lends further support to the conclusion that the agency was intended to have exclusive original jurisdiction over these controversies. That conclusion is also bolstered by the Legislature’s authorization to DHCR to continue the policies of its predecessor (the New York City Conciliation and Appeals Board) (L 1983, ch 403, §§ 19, 20), including its practice of adjudicating landlords’ applications for permission to demolish buildings subject to the rent-stabilization laws (see, former Code of Rent Stabilization Association of New York City, Inc. § 54 [D] [1]; see also, 9 NYCRR 2524.5 [a] [2]).
Since concurrent Supreme Court jurisdiction was not contemplated in this situation and the Constitution does not require it (see, Loretto v Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., 58 NY2d 143, 152-153, supra), Supreme Court erred in entertaining plaintiff’s claims on the merits. Furthermore, Supreme Court’s consideration of the delays that purportedly typify the administrative adjudicative process was inappropriate, since that factor, to the extent it might ever be relevant at all, would apply only in the application of the doctrine of "primary jurisdiction.” That doctrine, which represents an effort to "co-ordinate the relationship between courts and administrative agencies,” generally enjoins courts having concurrent jurisdiction to refrain from adjudicating disputes within an administrative agency’s authority, particularly where the agency’s specialized experience and technical expertise is
