Riesenberg v. Cullen Fuel Co., Inc.

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department
Jan 27, 1938
166 Misc. 663 (N.Y. App. Term 1938)

Opinion

January 27, 1938.

Appeal from the Municipal Court of the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, First District.

Goldstein Goldstein [ Jonah J. Goldstein of counsel], for the appellants.

John P. Smith, for the respondent.


It was error to dismiss the complaint. When the defendant drove its truck upon the sidewalk and broke it, it committed a nuisance and it was liable to any person who, while using due care, was injured as the result of defendant's leaving the sidewalk in a dangerous condition.

Judgment reversed and a new trial ordered, with thirty dollars costs to appellants to abide the event.

All concur. Present — HAMMER, SHIENTAG and NOONAN, JJ.
