OWNERS TO FIGHT
ZONING VIOLATIONS
Midtown Residents Up in Arms
Against Illegal Occupation
by Business.

Property owners in the lower Fifties
between Park and Sixth avenues. are
uniting to protect their interests against
violators of the zoning ordinance. whose
appearance from time to time threatens
the attractiveness OF that desirable resi-
dental district. The Fifth Avenue AS
sociation, acting as a vigilance commit
tee and representative of the property
owners. has succeeded in having a num-
ber of illegal uses discontinued They
are opposing at present a petition to
change West Fifty-fifth street, from
Fifth to Sixth avenue, from residential
to business use.
The fire prevention bureau is also Civ
ing the situation a great deal of atten-
ton, and William J. Pedrick, general
manager of the Fifth Avenue Associa-
tion. says: They are thoroughly alive
to the necessity for strict enforcement
OF the law. and are cooperating with us
splendidly In our efforts to compel vio-
lators to show proper regard for the
rights of their neighbors."
Mr.. Pedrick said in emphasizing the
necessity for vigilance on the part of
property owners throughout the city
The zoning law Is the only protection
the property owner has against infringe
ment OF his rights by the greed of others.
IL Is the only safeguard against further
continuation of the haphazard develop
ment that threatens not only the comfort
and convenience. but the health and the
very lives Of citizens Of this city. The
law should be enforced rigidly. When
property is bought under the prote, lion
granted by law that guaranty against
depreciation value and loss of desir-
ability should be lived up to, unless sus-
pended by expressed wish of the major
ity OF the owners affected.
Our association. at the request of the
majority of the property owners In West
Fifty-fifth street. from Fifth to Sixth
avenue. is opposing petition filed by
small minority which is seeking to
change that street from residential TO
business use. In addition, notices of
violation have been issued recently by
the Fire Prevention Bureau against the
use OF premises 81, 43. 46 and a. West
Fifty-second street and 81 West Fifty
fifth street.
This condition Is not confined to the
Ftfties. We are constantly faced with
the same situations in the other residen-
tial districts, including Park avenue and
the Murray Hill section. as well as In
the districts reserved for business use,
where manufacturing enterprises In vio-
lation of the law, creep In from time to
time. The property owners and business
men in the Fifth avenue section are
aroused. and there Is hardly
a time when we do not have under in
at least dozen violations
or suspected violations. The remedy Is
watchfulness and concerted ac-
tion, as soon as the first signs of dis
regare for tho Law appear"

ZONE ACT PREVENTS
GARAGE INVASIONS
Board of Appeals Refuses Con-
sent When Location Seems
Unsuitable.
EDWARD M. BASSETT,
'unsel for tho Zominc Commission.

Counsel for tho Zoninc Commission.
Livery stables and public garages are
no longer a menace to the real estate
owner of this city. The zoning maps
provide suitable locations for them
where they will not inJure their neigh
bors. They can be built in unrestricted
localities. as matter of course. They
can also be built with the consent of the
board or appeals in business blocks
where there Is already one public garage
or stable. and a public garage can he
built with the consent of the board Of
appeals in any block. even II residential,
where the owners of so per cent of the
frontage affected consent In writing.
The board of appeals also in certain
cases allows the owner of private
garage accessory to a dwelling to rent
one of the spaces. 1t will be seen that
the board of appeals has large powers
to create garage space in every kind OF
district. so that there will be the utmost
convenience TO the public. In admins
tering this power. however. the board
refuses to consent wherever It deems
that the location Is unsuitable.
Tho decline of livery stables and the
Increase Of public garages is shown by
the fact that only six public stable

Many think that the board Of appeals
can altar the coming resolution and

Of the Board of Estimate. The Board of
Appeals passes on permits for buildings
1t Is the safety valve of the coming reso-
luton inasmuch as Il has broad powers
OF adaptation to prevent unnecessary
hardship. 1t Is largely on account of the
wise adjustments OF the Board Of Ap-
peals In the many cases for permits
which come before II that the courts
have never criticized the coming resolu-
tion and maps of this city IN any par
ticular. =,

AT the same time a plct plan was
made, giving thorough study to the
proper location of house. garage, road

tance that such a plan be made at the
outset in order that everything may be
given its proper relative location.

! ing this movement. The real estate
market turned the corner last Janu-
airy, and now every month shows a
steady and healthy gain, not only in
volume of business done but in aggre-
gate amount over that of 1921. In this
connection the following statistics are OF
interest:
From April 26, 1922, to May 2. 1922
351 properties were transferred on Man
haitian Island. involving a total as
sessed valuation of S24,135,O00, as
against 295 properties transferred from
April 81 to May 3, 1921, with an as
sessed valuation Of s20,054,500 From
January !, 1922. to May 2, 1922, there
have been 1000 transfers on Manhattan
Island. with an assessed valuation of
$2s3,040, $50. while during the same
period in the year 1921 there were 3,597
transfers at an aggregate valuation,
based on the city assessment roll, of
$203, ,9O4, ,299.
These figures conclusively show that
the corner was turned January 1, 1922,
and improved conditions In real estate
are now being felt by those whose fin
gers are continually on the pulse of the
real estate market. Building contracts
In New York State and Northern New
Jersey also are Of interest to the stu
dent or real estate and building condi-
tions: Month of April, 1922, s115,502,-

Ing the months of January and Febru-

may not be solved to the general satis-
faction of business, but the present in

therefrom will / think be modified and
worked out with fairness to real estate
investments before we are many years
older. Beneficial changes were made In
the regulations and the laws for 1922
and more will be worked out later.

AS to sewage disposal, there is Of
course but one proper way to take care
of this and that Is with the septic tank
and irrigation tile disposal field. There
is no more sanitary system in existence
and its operation may be said to be
practically perfect. The first contracts
awarded for the property in question
were for water supply and sewage dis.

is fiat and the cost Is known beforehand
The cost OF the well, pump and pneuma-
tic tank came within the appropriation.
"Other items that had to be taken
into consideration in determining the
cost were the water supply lines from

cost of the pump house, housing the

Sees Good Times Ahead
for Realty Investors

The unhealthy tissue of the war time
and of the postwar period real estate
boom Is rapidly being shed and sound
transactions with investors who carry
cash around in their jeans are now the
order of the market. according tc
Charles F. Noyes. This well known
downtown broker does not allow himself
TO think In terms of pessimism. He looks
out upon the market through optimistic
glasses. AS. Mr.. Noyes's company en-
cages actively in all branches of real es-
tate such as selling. renting, exchang-
ing. mortgaging and managing real prop
erty. his views of the field as expressed
below is interesting. Hear him.
Our business is exceptionally good In
all branches and never have we ap-
preached the usually dull summer
months with as much good business In
sight. The easy business of war days is
gone and all who enjoy normalcy and
hard work should be glad of II, but in its
place the important brokerage firms are
now arranging deals with bona fide in
vestors. and this is the best character of
real estate dealing at any time. Mort
gage money Is very easy and any good
loan can be obtained at rates of from
u to $ per cent. and a few good loans
have recently been placed at per cent.
Five per cent. money.however is excep-
tional and security must be ultra -desir-
able. Business renting for the 1929 sea-
son Is better than most advance renting
seasons
while rentals have dropped to stay
from the high point of war days when
office space COMMANDED 81 to IS per
square foot, warehouse buildings so
cents per square foot and manufacture
ing lofts S1 per square foot. yet we all
know now that the old figures of prior
to 1914 will not return. All leases made
are being made on the basis of rentals
that show good income yield for the
properties and this is as Il should be.
Sales OF real estate to investors are
now being freely made and a consider
able amount OF exchanging Is beir=
handled by the larger real e-.ale Of
fices.
Money is plentiful and this is best
emphasized by the fact that during the
first three months OF this year over
$1,000. 100000 In money has been in cir
culation. or an average OF s5125 per
capita as against s35.05 per capita dur

this money Is eligible for investment.
Not only is this great amount OF money

nearly double those of 1914. The busi-

and ends and these with a little adj
dtional money he can convert into a
