Dividing lots - hiring a lawyer

Matthew Fuentes

Hi Everyone!

So I recently closed on a house that sits on 2 lots. I am going to try and get each lot zoned on their own in order to sell or build on the other empty lot. I have been in contact with a lawyer in the area (Long Island NY). He is telling me I would initially get denied and then we would file for an article 78 and most likely win. 

All in all cost would be roughly 18k all in and would take 1-2 years.

I am also in contact with an expeditor who has not gotten back to me.

Anyone have any experience with this? I want to get the job done however, thinking of doing it on my own and saving the money.

Best,

Matt
