2015And “[w]hen [a] property is ‘open to the public’ at the time of the alleged trespass . . . the accused is presumed to have a license and privilege to be present” (People v Leonard, 62 NY2d 404, 408 [1984] [holding that the defendant could not be banished from a State University of New York campus, a publicly-owned and maintained property, absent proof of a lawful order excluding him from the premises]).

2007In such a case, the People have the burden of proving that a lawful order excluding the defendant from the premises issued, that the order was communicated to the defendant by a person with authority to make the order, and that the defendant defied that order (id.; see People v Brown, 25 NY2d 374, 377 )” (People v Leonard, 62 NY2d 404, 408 [1984]).

1995(People v Brown, 25 NY2d, at 376 , supra [emphasis in original]; see, People v Powell, 58 NY2d 1009 [1983]; Penal Law § 140.00 [5].) In addition, the license and privilege to enter premises open to the public may not be terminated absent a lawful order, personally communicated by an appropriate authority.

1989The word "remain” in the phrase "enter or remain” is designed to apply to those cases in which a person enters a building with a license or privilege, but remains in the building after the termination of such license or privilege (People v Licata, 28 NY2d 113, 117 ; Donnino, Practice Commentary, McKinney’s Cons Laws of NY, Book 39, Penal Law art 140; Rothblatt, Revised Penal Law, Criminal Law of New York, § 257; see also, People v Powell, 58 NY2d 1009 ).

2012The lack of a license or privilege to enter may be established by circumstantial evidence (People v Quinones, 173 AD2d 395, 396 [1991], lv denied 78 NY2d 972 [1991]).

2004Indeed, not a scintilla of evidence suggested defendant had obtained the consent of the occupants or anyone else (see People v Graves, 76 NY2d 16, 20 [1990]; People v Francis, supra) or that defendant reasonably believed that he had a license or privilege to enter these homes (see People v Luck, 294 AD2d 618, 619 [2002], lv denied 98 NY2d 699 [2002]; People v Webster, supra; People v Tennant, 285 AD2d 817, 818-819 [2001]).

2001The People were required to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that defendant knowingly entered or remained in the Leonards’ home without a license or privilege to do so (see, Penal Law § 140.25; see also, Penal Law § 140.00 [5]), to wit, without their consent (see, People v Graves, 76 NY2d 16, 20 ; People v Reed, 121 AD2d 574, 575 ).

2003The evidence adduced at trial demonstrated that the codefendant, Ana Marie Santi, practiced medicine without a license in violation of Education Law § 6512 (1) by administering anesthesia to three patients in the care of the defendant, a duly-licensed physician who was her employer, and that the defendant was aware that Santi was a suspended doctor, and aided and abetted Santi in her unlicensed practice of medicine (see People v Varas, 110 AD2d 646, 648 [1985]).

Barton v. Hultsgreen
nysupct · 1960 · cited in 2 New York opinions naming this issue, 1968–1976
2 sentences

1976The earlier cases, relying on the "right-privilege” distinction (People v Rosenheimer, 209 NY 115, 121 ), viewed the possession of a driver’s license as a privilege which could be revoked in the absence of due process procedures (Matter of Barton v Hults, supra, pp 862-863; People v Rosenheimer, supra).

1968It may be argued that a license is a privilege (Matter of Barton v. Hults, 23 Misc 2d 861, 862 , and cases cited therein) or that it is a vested property right (Matter of Moore v. Macduff, 309 N. Y. 35, 38 ) and hence this added possible penalty is not a real penalty at all, but merely a chance of lessening his privileges.

2003Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Presentment Agency (see People v Williams, 84 NY2d 925 [1994]), we find that it was not legally sufficient to establish that the appellant lacked a license or privilege to be in or upon the premises (cf. People v Quinones, supra).

1997Viewing the circumstantial evidence in the light most favorable to the presenting agency (see, People v Williams, 84 NY2d 925 ), we find that it was legally insufficient to establish that the appellant lacked a license or privilege to be in or upon the premises (cf., People v Quinones, supra).

1998(People v Ranieri, 144 AD2d 1006, 1008 [4th Dept 1988], supra; People v Basch, 36 NY2d 154 .) The attempt by the complaining witness to remove the defendant by an unauthorized order to leave does not, in this case, serve as a lawful predicate for establishing an unlawful trespass.

1982Such belief, even if mistaken, negates the element of “knowing unlawful entry” necessary for a conviction of burglary (see People v Basch, 36 NY2d 154, 159 ; People v Barton, 18 AD2d 612 ; Hechtman, Practice Commentaries, McKinney’s Cons Laws of NY, Book 39, Penal Law, §§ 140.20, 140.25).

1987Licensing requirements which protect the public health and safety must be strictly complied with and a contract in violation of such statutes cannot be enforced (Millington v Rapoport, 98 AD2d 765 [2d Dept 1983]; Matter of Schwartz [American Swim Pools], 74 AD2d 638 [2d Dept 1980]; George Piersa, Inc. v Rosenthal, 72 AD2d 593 [2d Dept 1979]; Wineman v Blueprint 100, 75 Misc 2d 665 [Civ Ct, NY County 1973, Blyn, J.]).

1986We reject the argument that because Mr. La Barca is a licensed architect so as to be exempted from the license requirement (see, Administrative Code of City of New York § B32-361.0 [2]), the corporations in which he is a principal must be similarly exempted (see, George Piersa, Inc. v Rosenthal, supra).

1983The People have not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant lacked a license or privilege to enter or remain in the building (People v Barton, 18 AD2d 612 ; Beedenbender v Midtown Props., 4 AD2d 276,281 ).

1982Such belief, even if mistaken, negates the element of “knowing unlawful entry” necessary for a conviction of burglary (see People v Basch, 36 NY2d 154, 159 ; People v Barton, 18 AD2d 612 ; Hechtman, Practice Commentaries, McKinney’s Cons Laws of NY, Book 39, Penal Law, §§ 140.20, 140.25).

1968It may be argued that a license is a privilege (Matter of Barton v. Hults, 23 Misc 2d 861, 862 , and cases cited therein) or that it is a vested property right (Matter of Moore v. Macduff, 309 N. Y. 35, 38 ) and hence this added possible penalty is not a real penalty at all, but merely a chance of lessening his privileges.

1961(Matter of Moore v. Macduff, 309 N. Y. 35 .) The moving affidavit in this case discloses that the defendant is a self-employed businessman with a distinct need for a license to drive in order to operate such business.
