Description
BROGAN, CHIEF JUSTICE. The writ challenges the legality of an order or resolution of the Board of Adjustment of Jersey City, revoking a permit issued to the prosecutor by the superintendent of buildings to make certain alterations in a business property. The underlying question is whether the premises of the prosecutor, known as 177-179 Duncan avenue, which have been for many years devoted to commercial uses, shall be continued as such. The property previously had been used as a motion picture theatre, then as a tavern and, lastly, as a storage and repair shop. The superintendent of buildings of the municipality, on regular application, issued a permit to install new plumbing and to change the store front. Contracts were let to accomplish these changes and the work begun. Subsequently, upon the protests of neighboring business people, a hearing was had before the Board of Adjustment, as a result of which the board voided the permit issued to the prosecutor.
