1978In Tenement House Dept. v Moeschen (supra), 9,000 buildings were affected by a new building code requirement for the installation of water closets.

1978Despite the fact that the average cost of compliance ranged from 10 to 15% of the property’s value, the law was upheld as a valid exercise of the police power. "[I]t is obvious that the full market value of the property, and not the value above incumbrances, should be taken into consideration when estimating the reasonableness of the proposed outlay to which defendant is to be subjected.” ( 179 NY, at p 333-334 .)
