1993Although Olisa maintains that the exception is applicable as a matter of law because the premises were vacant at the time of the accident and was not being used for commercial purposes, the homeowner’s exception would not be applicable "if his purpose in making renovations was to prepare the house for commercial rental” (Lombardi v Stout, supra, at 297), or for another exclusively commercial use (see, Van Amerogen v Donnini, supra, at 882).

2008Moreover, the evidence was sufficient to permit a trier of fact to find, without the benefit of the statutory presumption, that the defendant was unable to correct a problem that “substantially impaired” the value of the vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts (General Business Law § 198-a [c] [1]), and the defendant failed to meet its burden of proving its affirmative defense that the stalling problem did not substantially impair the value of the vehicle to the plaintiff (see General Business Law § 198-a [c] [3] [ii]; Jandreau v La Vigne, 170 AD2d 861 [1991]).

2002This court, based upon the statutory language (Matter of Fenelon, supra; Sutton v Bank of N.Y., supra), holds that while survivorship language on the signature card itself is the best evidence to give rise to the statutory presumption, and, perhaps, in most cases the only practical way, it is not the exclusive way.

Rees v. Teachers' Retirement Board neutral

1954In the court’s opinion the provisions of the Administrative Code were not intended to produce any such result and thus to deprive the teacher-members of the board of the benefit of the statutory requirement that the concurrence of at least one teacher-member of the board shall be necessary for any decision of the board (Administrative Code, § B20-11.0), which includes the election of a chairman (Rees v. Teachers’ Retirement Bd. of City of N. Y., 247 N. Y. 372 , supra).
