City of Yonkers v. Rentways, Inc., and Devonshire Lane Service, Inc.

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the City of Yonkers' injunction prohibiting the defendants from using a residential lot as an access point and parking area for a garage. The court held that such use is a regulable part of a trade or industry, does not constitute an unconstitutional taking, and is not protected as a nonconforming use because it began after the zoning ordinance took effect.
