Coughlin v. Jones

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department
Nov 8, 1937
165 Misc. 204 (N.Y. App. Term 1937)

Opinion

November 8, 1937.

Appeal from the City Court of the City of New York, County of Bronx.

Joseph S. Robinson, for the appellant.

Samuel Justin Jackman, for the respondents.



The fact that the landlord permitted or invited the children of his tenants to use the yard as a playground did not by implication authorize his tenants or their children to invite strangers to make a similar use of the yard. Plaintiff was at best a mere licensee to whom the landlord was not liable for defects in the premises.

Judgment reversed, with costs, and complaint dismissed on the merits, with costs.

All concur. Present — LYDON, LEVY and HAMMER, JJ.
