Resident questions 24 Orchard Street’s status as council considers rehabilitation-area designation
Summary
A resident told the Passaic City Council he believes a 32-unit building at 24 Orchard Street may be illegally constructed rather than a preexisting nonconforming use; the administration countered the building holds certificates of occupancy and that the council’s item 26 is a statutory designation step only, not a commitment to redevelopment.
Joshua Goldman, a resident at 185 High Street, told the City Council during public comment that a 32-unit apartment at 24 Orchard Street may be illegally constructed and asked why the city was not pursuing enforcement rather than including the property in a rehabilitation-area designation. "If the building that exists was built in the eighties or potentially even before then, then it would never have been conforming at the time that it was constructed. It would be illegally constructed," Goldman said.
