Y. David Scharf Cited in The Real Deal Regarding Client’s Plans to Demolish UWS Building Despite Holdout Tenant
Chair and Co-Managing Partner Y. David Scharf was cited in a July 15, 2022 The Real Deal article entitled “Naftali Moves to Demolish UWS Building with Holdout Tenant.” The article discusses Morrison Cohen client Naftali Group’s recently filed demolition plans at 215 West 84th Street, which the developer intends to replace with a 16-story condo building, despite a lone holdout tenant.
The article stated: “Naftali has filed two lawsuits against the tenant, one seeking his eviction and another seeking $25 million in damages for delaying the project. The developer’s attorney, Y. David Scharf, has accused Bailey of abusing the legal system and the media ‘to force a cash payout’ for [the tenant].”
The Real Deal also cited David’s statement to Crain’s earlier in the week: “’The recent filing of a demolition permit represents our confidence that this frivolous claim will be resolved in our favor.’”
