Court Boulevard, Inc. v. Board of Standards & Appeals

Proceeding to review the determination of the Board of Standards and Appeals of the City of New York, which denied appellant’s application for a variance of the zoning resolution in respect of an area district. (N. Y. City Zoning Resolution, art. IV, § 14, subd. [c] as amd.) Order dismissing the order of certiorari and confirming the determination of the board unanimously affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements. Irrespective of whether or not the tests for a variance set forth in the case of Matter of Otto v. Steinhilber ( 282 N. Y. 71 ) were applicable or correctly applied by the board, the record fails to establish practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in conforming to the area district regulation. Present — Lewis, P. J., Carswell, Adel, Sneed and Wenzel, JJ.
