• Mr. Korn successfully represented the owner of a landmark town house in Manhattan in proceedings in New York Supreme Court and before the NYC Department of Buildings to require a neighboring property owner to remove a three-story wall constructed by the neighboring property owner and attached to the town house, in violation of a court order and regulations of the Department of Buildings.
