Associate Andrea Tsoukalas Publishes Article in the Latest Issue of the New York Real Estate Journal.
NYREJ: “Why is zoning due diligence important to a purchases or developer of real property” 6/8/07

Mineola, June 8, 2007 — Associate Andrea Tsoukalas published an article in the latest issue of the New York Real Estate Journal. The article, “Why is zoning due diligence important to a purchaser or developer of real property,” discusses the importance and affects of due diligence.

Ms. Tsoukalas explains, “This heightened level of due diligence is necessary because in New York there is no “municipal estoppel”. This means that a municipality may not be prevented from revoking an improperly issued building permit or certificate of occupancy or repudiating the advice of a public official and, therefore, a developer’s reliance on an improperly issued document is not a defense to its revocation.”

Ms. Tsoukalas concentrates her practice in zoning, land use, environmental, municipal matters and civil litigation. She represents a wide variety of clients, including national corporate chains, local developers and small business owners in the development of commercial and residential properties. She also serves as counsel to the Village of Kensington Zoning Board of Appeals and the Architectural Review Board.
