OPINION OF THE COURT

MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division, 101 A.D.2d 336, 475 N.Y.S.2d 443 should be affirmed.

The Appellate Division's factual finding does not preclude an appeal to this court (People v. Albro, 52 N.Y.2d 619, 624, 439 N.Y.S.2d 836, 422 N.E.2d 496). The warrantless search of defendants' automobile salvage yard was not undertaken for administrative

purposes. Thus, New York City Charter § 436 is inapplicable, and the evidence obtained must be suppressed as acquired in violation of the constitutional proscription against unreasonable searches and seizures.

WACHTLER, C.J., and JASEN, MEYER, SIMONS, KAYE and ALEXANDER, JJ., concur.

TITONE, J., taking no part.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
