Lawsuit

A non-profit has taken the city to court over their residential rezoning of a large Communipaw Avenue property that was allegedly set aside for a park expansion.

The company says Mayor Brian Stack has ignored their requests to settle fines on a property they purchased out of foreclosure because the city wants the parcel for themselves.

The city has filed a lawsuit over a long-stalled hotel venture that claims the company behind the endeavor has gone bankrupt and defaulted on a redevelopment agreement.

A builder renovating two homes says that longtime politico Michael Manzo revoked his permits to “teach [him] a lesson,” later demanding a friendship to avoid his wrath.

The controversial sale of the building to Paramount Assets last year pitted the Islamic Society of Essex County (ISEC) board of trustees against prayer goers.

The Morris Canal Community Development Corporation claims that Jersey City terminated their development so they could instead bring "luxury housing in a high-rise development” to the site.

The lawsuit claims millions were spent on a Jersey City fountain renovation that had poorly drawn-up plans.

The Jersey City mega project, which includes a new public plaza, will feature two 64-story towers and has already reached a retail deal to bring a Target to the ground floor.

The lawsuit claims developers of neighboring parcels "have met secretly with JCRA to reach an agreement [that would] appoint Hampshire and Boraie as Redeveloper of certain PPG Properties."

A three-judge panel ruled that Jersey City’s planning board acted appropriately when approving the project.
