Geoffrey Mazel Esq., Featured in

Queens Bar Bulletin

We are pleased to let you know that our partner, Geoffrey Mazel, Esq., has published another feature article in the October, 2022 edition of the Queens Bar Bulletin. This is a publication of the Queens Bar Association.  Mr. Mazel is the co-Chairman of their Co-op/Condo Law Committee along with our partner Mark Hankin, Esq.

In this article, Mr. Mazel gives a detailed description of the recent lawsuit regarding the legality and constitutionality of Local Law 97. He highlights some major issues in the lawsuit in a clear and concise manner. As you are aware, this lawsuit was commenced by Co-op leaders Bob Friedrich and Warren Schreiber against New York City to overturn Local Law 97. 

As the lawsuit clearly states, no one denies climate change, but the clumsy “one size fits all” approach of Local Law 97 could have disastrous financial consequences for the Co-op community with no discernible benefits.
