Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York

Decided November 13, 1924Published

1Opinion of the Court

Per Cunam.

The refusal of the trial judge to charge the jury in accordance with our decision in Markwin Realty Corp. v. Geisler, 122 Misc. Rep. 697; affd., 210 App. Div. 845, that the space occupied by the stores in the premises should be considered in determining a reasonable rental as so much apartment space and chargeable only with the rent which would be reasonable for such apartment space, was error and requires a reversal of the judgment.

Judgment reversed and a new trial ordered, with twenty dollars costs to appellant.

All concur; present, Guy, Bijur and Mullan, JJ.
