Children's Services Sues City to Open Group Home, Conditions House for Winter Posted on Wednesday, November 06 @ 17:18:10 EST by jfbailey

Government

WPCNR WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. By John F. Bailey. November 6, 2002: The Jewish Board of Family and Childrens Services sued the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Building Department of the City of White Plains today, asking the Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Board revocation of their Building Permit on their proposed Group Home at 139 Walworth Avenue.

The suit seeks no monetary damages and asks the court in an Article 78 action to rule that the city "be permanently enjoined from taking any action adverse to or inconsistent with JBFCS' vested rights, including but not limited to efforts to deny JBFCS' Building Permit or Certificate of Occupancy..." and asks "that a final judment be made...annulling, vacating and setting aside the ZBA's decision and declaring that the...group home is permitted in the R1-5 Zoning District," and other relief (perhaps monetary) as the court sees fit.

In a related matter, the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services informed the Building Department they had begun winterproofing the 139 Walworth Avenue facility to prevent pipes from freezing, and sustaining damage to the home.

The city is asked to respond in court, November 27.
