Hoffmann Inv. v. Yuval

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 24, 2006
33 A.D.3d 511 (N.Y. App. Div. 2006)

Opinion

No. 9348.

October 24, 2006.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Mary Ann Brigantti-Hughes, J.), entered November 22, 2005, which granted defendant-respondent's motion for an order cancelling a notice of pendency, with related relief, and for partial summary judgment dismissing that portion of the complaint seeking an injunction directing removal of a retaining wall and cessation of further work, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Before: Mazzarelli, J.P., Friedman, Nardelli, Williams and Malone, JJ.


There was no evidentiary support for a finding that plaintiff would suffer irreparable harm substantially outweighing injury the injunction would cause defendant-respondent ( see Matter of Angiolillo v Town of Greenburgh, 21 AD3d 1101, 1104). The record discloses no nonspeculative ground to support a finding that defendant's rebuilt retaining wall presents a danger to plaintiff that would warrant mandating the expensive and difficult work required to remove the rebuilt wall and build yet a third wall. Upon weighing the relative circumstances, the motion court properly found that the encroachment of 1½ to 334 inches onto plaintiffs property is de minimis ( see Generalow v Steinberger, 131 AD2d 634, 635, appeal dismissed 70 NY2d 928, and lv denied 70 NY2d 616; Christopher v Rosse, 91 AD2d 768, 769). With only plaintiffs claim for money damages remaining, the notice of pendency was properly cancelled ( see Ola Contr. Co. v Guild Capital, 285 AD2d 382, 383).
