Key legal question
Whether operating or tolerating a brothel in the residential premises causes excessive immissions justifying a use prohibition
Extracted holding
A brothel or brothel-like business in a multifamily house is, by general life experience, associated with excessive factual and immaterial immissions for the immediate neighborhood.
Extracted reasoning
The court rejected the defendant's denial as untenable. The existence of excessive immissions is not a matter of competing academic theories but follows from general life experience, which the appellate court also accepted.
