PETER N. PETERS and Others, on Behalf of Themsel v. s and All Other Residents or Property Owners on Ri

PER CURIAM.

The opinion of Special Term indicates that it found from the evidence, supplemented by the court's personal observations made pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, that there were noises incidental to the playing of outdoor music by defendant corporation's orchestra which disturbed the peace of the neighborhood. This finding is amply supported by the evidence. Under the circumstances we think that the playing of the outdoor orchestra should be prohibited after eleven o'clock in the evening. The provisions of the Administrative Code of the City of New York (§ 435-5.0) indicate a public policy prohibiting any such noises after that hour which disturb the quiet of residents. However, plaintiffs in the present case do not object to the music's continuing until twelve o'clock on Saturday evenings and evenings preceding holidays. Accordingly, we direct the modification of subdivision one of the judgment appealed from by changing the provisions therein concerning the hour on and after which the outdoor orchestra is enjoined from playing to eleven P.M. on all days other than Saturdays and holidays, on which latter days it may continue to twelve midnight. As so modified, the judgment should be affirmed, with costs to appellants.
