F. T. B. Realty Corporation, Landlord, Appellant v. Louis Goodman, Tenant, Respondent

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that New York City's Local Law No. 73 of 1949, which imposed additional restrictions on evictions and rent increases, is inconsistent with Article 83 of the Civil Practice Act and, because its eviction provisions are inseparable from its rent‑fixing provisions, the entire law is invalid; the lower court's dismissal was reversed and the case remanded.
