New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York Ex Rel. Fordham Manor Reformed Church, Appellants v. William E. Walsh Et…
February 23, 1927244 N.Y. 280
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that the Board of Appeals may not vary a residence‑district zoning restriction under §21 of the Zoning Resolution without a concrete showing of unnecessary hardship supported by evidence, and that the Board’s order granting a garage was unsupported; consequently the Appellate Division’s reversal was itself reversed and the Special Term’s decision affirmed.
