The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. David Rubenfeld, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction of the defendant for maintaining a public nuisance, holding that the noisy dances at the Paramount Mansion Company disturbed a considerable number of persons and thus fell within the statutory definition of a public nuisance. The decision relied on established common‑law definitions and prior New York cases interpreting the term “considerable.”
