THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. THOMAS CANNER, Appellant

MEMORANDUM. Judgment of conviction unanimously reversed on the law, complaint dismissed and fine remitted.

Defendant's conduct did not rise to the level required by the statute, since the disturbance complained of was not public, but private in nature (see Penal Law, § 240.20; People v Chesnick, 302 N.Y. 58; People v Hill, 60 Misc.2d 277; People v Reid, 180 Misc. 289). While it is true that the offense of disorderly conduct can be committed inside an apartment house (People v Chesnick, supra), only the occupants of the two apartments complained of the noise.

Concur: GROAT, P.J., PINO and RINALDI, JJ.
