A friend and colleague has a client with an eminent domain issue. The client has a house in Bellmore next to the fire department. A couple of years ago, the house was severely damaged by fire. The fire dept. offered to buy the house for $600K and advised the owners that they could also keep the insurance proceeds they would be receiving. The homeowners thought the offer was too low and they did not sell. Instead, they used the insurance proceeeds to fix the house. They just received a letter from the counsel for the fire department stating that it would be taking the house by eminent domain and paying the owners $500K (which is basically the value of the land.) The homeowners are confident that the house is worth at least twice as much. If there is anyone who thinks they can help the homeowners, please email me and I will pass on the info. Thanks.
