Matter of Canberg v. Kleinert

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 1, 1929
225 App. Div. 875 (N.Y. App. Div. 1929)

Opinion

February, 1929.

Present — Lazansky, P.J., Rich, Young, Carswell and Scudder, JJ.


Order denying motion for peremptory mandamus order and order denying motion for reargument unanimously affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements. If the property in question was, at the time of the passage of the Building Zone Resolution, devoted to a non-conforming use, that use might be continued, and relator would be entitled to the certificate of occupancy as matter of strict legal right, to enforce which mandamus would lie. But the premises were not at that time devoted to such non-conforming use, and respondent's refusal of the certificate was, therefore, justified.
