Board of Standards & Appeals/Zoning & Land Use

Planning & Zoning is the bridge to the future and it should consider all stakeholders, those with voices and those without.

We represent New York property owners facing difficult zoning and land use issues before the Board of Standards and Appeals (“BSA”) including applications for variances and waivers and/or special permits (e.g. gas station and gas station convenience stores, gyms, massage parlors and spas and other physical and cultural establishments).  We also represent developers seeking and/or maximizing the full potential and value of their properties.  We will explain the “ins and outs”  including pitfalls and complications of what you are hoping to accomplish, prepare your submissions, and advocate and argue your case before the BSA and other governmental bodies.
