Sanchez & Polovetsky Triples Eminent Domain Award For East Harlem Auto Repair Shop
NEW YORK (PRWEB) July 25, 2018 -- Sanchez & Polovetsky, PLLC, (http://www.spnylaw.com) a midtown Manhattan law firm focusing its practice in eminent domain law, is pleased to announce that is has successfully tripled the eminent domain award initially offered to its client, an East Harlem Auto Repair Shop.
The case is captioned as: In the Matter of the Application of THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Petitioner, To Acquire by Exercise of its Powers of Eminent Domain, Fee Simple in Certain Real Property Known as Tax Block 1790, Lots 8, 20, 28 and 46, located in the Borough of Manhattan, needed for the FIFTEENTH AMENDED HARLEM-EAST HARLEM URBAN RENEWAL PLAN (EAST 125TH STREET), STAGE 2, Within an area generally bounded by East 126th Street on the north; 2nd Avenue on the east; East 125th Street on the south; and 3rd Avenue on the west, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, under New York County Supreme Court Master Index No. 453233/2015 and Sub-Index No. 450082/2018 (Shlomo, J.).
Sanchez & Polovetsky filed a claim on behalf of its client, East Side Auto, Inc., in November of 2017. After months of intense negotiations and pre-trial court conferences, the firm was able to obtain a favorable settlement on behalf of the East Harlem Auto Repair Shop on July 10, 2018, less than a year after filing an eminent domain claim for additional compensation in Court. Although the terms of the settlement are confidential, attorneys at the firm have confirmed that the settlement was in an amount that was approximately three (3) times the amount of the initial eminent domain award offered to its client.
“Small businesses are an essential part of the local and national economy. Being able to help this client thrive despite eminent domain proceedings is truly gratifying. We are thrilled about the award and the results we were able to achieve,” says Jennifer Polovetsky, a partner at Sanchez & Polovetsky.
“It is extremely rewarding to help a small business that employs members of the local community. This is yet another example of how a business can fight and win despite eminent domain proceedings,” says Philip Sanchez, a partner at Sanchez & Polovetsky.
