DRESSLER v. SOCONY MOBIL OIL CO., INC

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Nov 19, 1964

Judgment entered April 22, 1964, dismissing the complaint at the close of plaintiffs' case, unanimously reversed, on the law, and a new trial directed, with $50 costs to abide the event. Defendants' use of the sidewalk was a special use for the ingress and egress of motor vehicles to and from the gasoline station. The evidence establishes questions of fact as to the existence of a dangerous sidewalk condition consequent on said special use. ( Mullins v. Siegel-Cooper Co., 183 N.Y. 129; Wylie v. City of New York, 286 App. Div. 720; Nickelsburg v. City of New York, 263 App. Div. 625; Joel v. Electrical Research Prods., 94 F.2d 588.)
