Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the appellants' contention, the record establishes that the premises at issue was operated as a nightclub prior to the enactment of the relevant zoning ordinance and therefore, constituted a preexisting, nonconforming use (see, 1 Anderson, New York Zoning Law and Practice § 6.02, at 199 [3d ed]). Accordingly, the petition was properly granted.
