Court of Appeals of New York


In the Matter of 9th & 10th Street L.L.C. v. Bd of Standards & Appeals of the City of New York, 40

A decision reversing the New York City Department of Buildings' denial of a building permit to construct a dormitory is reversed as: 1) the Department's denial was not arbitrary and capricious; and 2) where there is reason to doubt that a proposed structure can be used for a lawful purpose, municipal authorities are not required to let the property owner build the building and see what happens.
