40th Street and Park Avenue, Inc. v. Fox

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
May 1, 1928
248 N.Y. 527 (N.Y. 1928)

Opinion

Argued April 4, 1928

Decided May 1, 1928

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.

Charles L. Craig for appellant.

George Zabriskie and Charles M. Kritzman for respondent.


Future changes in the character of the neighborhood as now maintained by law and usage may make it inequitable hereafter to enforce the covenant in suit. We deal only with conditions as they existed at the trial. The question whether the Princeton Club has disabled itself, by a breach of the covenant, from enforcing the restriction is not raised by an appropriate exception and is not before us on this appeal.

The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.

CARDOZO, Ch. J., POUND, CRANE, ANDREWS, LEHMAN, KELLOGG and O'BRIEN, JJ., concur.

Judgment affirmed.
