Riesenberg v. Cullen Fuel Co.
New York Supreme Court · Decided January 27, 1938
166 Misc. 663; 2 N.Y.S.2d 814; 1938 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 1349

Counsel

Goldstein & Goldstein [Jonah J. Goldstein of counsel], for the appellants., John P. Smith, for the respondent.

Riesenberg v. Cullen Fuel Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

It was error to dismiss the complaint. When the defendant drove its truck upon the sidewalk and broke it, it committed a nuisance and it was liable to any person who, while using due care, was injured as the result of defendant’s leaving the sidewalk in a dangerous condition.

Judgment reversed and a new trial ordered, with thirty dollars costs to appellants to abide the event.

All concur. Present — Hammer, Shientag and Noonan, JJ.
