I am excited to announce that I have added a brand new class to my program of real estate related CLE courses. The class is entitled "Zoning: A to Z" and, as the name suggests, it is designed to provide real estate attorneys with a broad and comprehensive understanding of zoning and land use in New York City. I am equally excited that the class is being taught by Howard Goldman, Esq. who is one of New York City's top zoning and land attorneys. The first time we will be presenting this class is August 11th. I expect this class to fill up fast so sign up right away if you are interested in attending. All of the details of the class are below. I hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Marc Israel
Title: Zoning: A to Z
Date: August 11, 2010
Location: Bank of America, 335 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor
Class Details: Purchasers of commercial property purchase the property with the intent of using it for a specific purpose or even changing the use. Therefore, it is important for the practitioner who is representing such a purchaser to understand the local zoning regulations that are applicable to the transaction in order to verify that the purchaser can legally do what they want to with the property. In order for the attorney to provide his or her client with meaningful land use and zoning advice and counsel, it is useful to have an understanding of what zoning regulations are, how they came about, and how they operate. This class provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the history, structure, use and impact of zoning regulations in New York City and the metropolitan area. Emphasis will be placed on practical and legal issues that practitioners need to understand.
