Fig. 4-FACTORY BUILDINGS CUTTING OFF LIGHT AND AIR FROM 

 TENEMENTS. 

 Aside from their noise, dust and odor, factory or loft buildings are detrimental to 

 nearby tenements and private dwellings in their obstruction of light and air. Tene- 

 ments are compelled to leave a yard in the rear of the lot, but loft and factory 

 buildings are not prevented from erecting a high wall upon the lot line opposite 

 tenement windows.
