The BK Reader recently reached out to IMPACCT Brooklyn for comment about a homeowner’s best course of action when development enters your neighborhood and developers damage your property.
“If homeowners don’t have really good legal representation, it often ends up bad for the homeowner,” Pat Julien, director of homeowner services at IMPACCT Brooklyn, told BK Reader.
“Don’t sign anything. Don’t do any handshake agreements,” Julien warned. “Access agreements give developers permission to be on your property. But if you don’t read it and put in the clauses and stipulations you want to have in the agreement, it’s going to favor the developer.”
