Prudco Realty Corp. v. Palermo
Decision Date | 20 September 1983 |
Docket Number | S.F. S |
Parties | , 455 N.E.2d 483 In the Matter of PRUDCO REALTY CORP., Respondent, v. Gerald E. PALERMO et al., Constituting the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Brookhaven, Respondents, andhopping Center, Inc., Intervenor-Appellant. |
Court | New York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals |
The order of the Appellate Division, 93 A.D.2d 837, 461 N.Y.S.2d 58, should be affirmed, with costs.
Petitioner commenced this article 78 proceeding to review a determination of the zoning board of appeals (Board) that granted an application of the intervenor-respondent-appellant, S.F. Shopping Center, Inc., for a certificate of existing use for the operation of a gasoline service station. S.F.

With respect to the Board's determination that the nonconforming use had not been abandoned, we note that the Brookhaven ordinance provides that "[w]henever a nonconforming use has been discontinued, abandoned or not used for a period of one (1) year or more, such use shall not thereafter be reestablished and any future use shall be in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance." ( Thus, the property owner's intent, the owner's lease with the tenant and the presence of underground storage tanks is simply not enough to demonstrate that the property was used as a gasoline service station throughout the period in question. Indeed, the respondents conceded at the hearing on this matter that the gasoline pumps had been removed and that the building on the premises was used as a tobacco shop...
