MS&B Secures Unanimous Decision in High-Profile Condemnation Case
When legal battles block a property’s potential, what’s the path to revitalization?
William Northgrave, Kevin McManimon and Malcolm Thorpe recently secured a unanimous appellate decision in the long-standing condemnation case for Jersey City’s 125 Monitor Street property. Known for its chronic code violations and contamination, this neglected site has finally been cleared for acquisition by the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency through eminent domain.
This ruling is a pivotal step toward resolving one of Jersey City's toughest property disputes. It overcomes years of legal obstacles that have stalled revitalization in the Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood.
With this decision, the community is primed for a fresh start as clean-up plans and new projects can start moving forward.
Congratulations to Kevin, Malcolm, Bill, and everyone who made this hard-fought success possible!
