What’s 700 Square Feet When You Can Basically Do Whatever You Want?

Earlier, the Post found an Atlantic Yard refugee who had been holding out without anyone knowing it. Now the attorney who led the charge against the Atlantic Yards project identified a condemned strip of land that hasn’t actually been condemned yet:

A piece of property about the size of a standard one-bedroom apartment in the footprint of the Atlantic Yards site was never officially condemned, says attorney Matthew Brinckheroff in an action filed in Kings County Supreme Court on behalf of the property’s owner.

Peter Williams Enterprises Inc., a company owned by Peter Williams, filed the lawsuit seeking a declaration of the ownership of a tax lot at 24 Sixth Ave., which includes a roughly 700-square-foot thin strip of land behind a former condominium, as well an above-grade parcel on top of that same building.

Location Scout: Atlantic Yards.
