Texaco v. Frey

In Texaco v. Frey, 66 Misc 2d 117 [Nassau Cty., 1971] the court directed that the signature of a long term lessee of certain real property satisfied the building department's requirement of owner's consent' where the lease provided the lessee could alter the building structure at will. The Court noted that the owner was clearly dissatisfied with the rent and the lessee bringing another action to compel consent would only serve to cause a multiplicity of actions' and in the interests of justice ordered the lessee signature be accepted.
