Summary
The New York Court of Appeals dismissed the petitioners' appeal as moot, awarding costs. The Court held that because the construction was substantially complete and the petitioners failed to seek injunctive relief, the controversy was no longer live. The decision rests on the Court's analysis of mootness doctrine as applied to construction projects.
