New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Jay D. Scott
April 15, 197026 N.Y.2d 286
Summary
The Court reversed the Broome County Court and dismissed the information, holding that the landlord had no right of entry to remove the tenant's inoperable vehicles and therefore could not be criminally liable. The opinion also discusses, but does not decide, the ordinance's constitutional validity.
