Real Estate & Property Law

Appraiser's Oversight Does Not Negate Standing.

By Stephen E. Meltzer, Esquire

The Appeals Court has reversed a Superior Court judge and found that plaintiffs have standing to appeal a grant of a variance despite an real estate appraiser's oversight regarding the current use of property.

In Central Street, LLC v. Zoning Board of Hudson, the Court found that the appraiser's oversight merely changed the baseline valuation of the property, not the overall determination that the variance and subsequent use would cause a diminution of value of the plaintiff's property.
