Marie K. Baddour, as Administratrix With the Will Annexed of Raschid S. Baddour, Deceased, Appellant v. City of…

November 29, 1938279 N.Y. 167

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower courts' judgment, holding that Long Beach's zoning ordinance restricting the property to a one‑family detached house for one housekeeping unit is a valid exercise of police power and does not violate due process. Accordingly, the plaintiff may not operate a boarding or rooming house as a business on the premises.
