Opinion
July 6, 1945.
Appeal from the Municipal Court of the City of New York, Borough of Brooklyn, GUTMAN, J.
Jacob A. Salzman for appellants-respondents.
David A. Ferdinand for respondent-appellant.
MEMORANDUM
The testimony in behalf of the landlord presented a question of fact as to whether some major capital improvement had been made prior to November 1, 1943. It was error, therefore, to strike out the entire testimony. If major capital improvements were made prior to November 1, 1943, the provisions of clause (4) of subdivision (d) of section 4 of the Rent Regulation for Housing in the New York City Defense-Rental Area applied ( 8 Fed. Reg. 13915).
The judgment should be unanimously reversed upon the law and new trial granted, with $30 costs to defendant to abide the event.
The appeal from the order denying summary judgment should be dismissed.
MacCRATE, SMITH and McCOOEY, JJ., concur.
Judgment reversed, etc.
