Boymelgreen Faces Possible Eviction from Brooklyn Offices
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Crain’s New York Business reported yesterday that Shaya Boymelgreen of Boymelgreen developers, a well-known Brooklyn figure, could be evicted from his American corporate headquarters in Brooklyn this week for failing to pay about $200,000 in rent and losing a court case involving Forest City Ratner’s attempt to assemble the land for its Atlantic Yards project.
...
Weinstein told Crain’s he sued Boymelgreen in 2006 after learning the developer sold his 40-year lease on the building to Forest City Ratner without his knowledge.Forest City needs to raze the building so it can construct its project on the rail yards. The New York state appeals court in May ruled that Weinstein could evict Boymelgreen and that Forest City was given illegal assignment to Weinstein’s properties, Crain’s reported.
NoLandGrab: Weinstein won the case against the Boymelgreen-Ratner doublecross, but he still faces condemnation via eminent domain by the State of NY.
