Margolis v. City of Orange
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided January 19, 1927
5 N.J. Misc. 146; 135 A. 923; 1927 N.J. Sup. Ct. LEXIS 353

Margolis v. City of Orange

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The relator is the owner of a tract of land on the corner of Fourth and North Arlington avenues, in the city of East Orange. He applied for a permit to the building inspector for leave to erect a four-story brick apartment-house upon this tract. The building inspector refused to issue the permit solely because the zoning ordinance of the municipality fore-bade the erection of apartment-houses of the kind proposed in that zone, which is designated in the ordinance as a “Small Volume Residence District.” The case is controlled by the decision of the Court of Errors and Appeals in the case of State v. Nutley, 99 N. J. L. 389.

A peremptory writ will be ordered.
