Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

We live in a ground level apartment in NYC. Our hallway is a shared hallway with a restaurant that just opened in our building, is it legal to share a residential entrance with a restaurant supply entrance?

Seem crazy having clams being passed through our hallway.
