The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Calvar Corporation and Andrew La Grega

Summary

The Court affirmed the defendants' convictions under the Hempstead Building Zone Ordinance, holding that the ordinance's restriction on sand excavation and temporary structures does not constitute an unconstitutional taking. The Court noted that the ordinance permits a Board of Appeals to grant temporary permits and that no complete prohibition or unlawful deprivation had occurred.
