In Pokoik v. Silsdorf, as Mayor of Vill. of Ocean Beach, 40 NY2d 769 (1976), the motion term annulled a decision of the Town's Board of Appeals and ordered the issuance of a permit. The Appellate Division reversed. The Court of Appeals reinstated the motion term's order and granted the permit, holding that even though the permit had not been issued, the property owner was deprived of the vested right which would exist if a building permit had been issued, but for the inappropriate delay by the Town Board of Appeals. The net holding in that case is that improper delays in processing building permits, etc., is considered appropriate grounds for injunctive relief.
