In Riccardo's Lounge Inc. v. Maggio, 9 Misc 3d 1112[A], 2005 NY Slip Op 51509[U] (Sup. Ct. Nassau Co. 2005), the tenant utilized the basement for storage of pipes and a grease trap from the inception of the lease in 1998, which use had existed since the 1920s. The court found that the basement was an appurtenance as legal operation of the business was dependent on the use of the pipes and grease trap.
