In Cabrini Terrace Joint Venture v. O'Brien , Charles O'Brien appealed a New York County Civil Court decision which awarded possession of his apartment to the landlord.
O'Brien was found to have perpetrated a "nuisance"-- due to the "extreme" odors which emanated from his unit.
Since the misconduct occurred over a "period of years" and showed "no sign of abating," the Appellate Term, First Department, affirmed the lower court's determination.
Bet O'Brien thought that stunk.
