New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of Floyd I. Cromwell v. Harvey Ferrier, as Building Inspector of the Town of Wallkill

March 2, 196719 N.Y.2d 263

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the Wallkill zoning ordinance prohibiting non‑accessory signs is a valid exercise of the police power and not facially unconstitutional. The Court overruled the earlier Bond decision and rejected the dissent's view that the ordinance must be struck down.
