I’m confused. The home owner insists that the apartment building should be require to have at least three feet of side yard, which presumably would give at least six feet between houses. Yet the newly constructed building is 1 foot from his house.
Doesn’t this mean that his house is no more than twelve inches from the property line? How can he demand 3 feet on the other side when he obviously is not compliant with that himself?
Bingo!
Because it's the Bronx
Rational analysis plays no part in these “government should tell people what to do with their property” threads.
It must mean that there is only a six inch setback requirement? What kind of idiotic building code is that?
