Montebello authorizes attorney to seek court order over alleged illegal multi‑family use at 547 Haverstraw Road
Summary
The board approved Resolution 25‑152 authorizing the village attorney to file a summons, complaint and order to show cause in Rockland County Supreme Court concerning alleged illegal multi‑family occupancy at 547 Haverstraw Road, naming Frantz & Marie E. Verna as the owners. The motion carried unanimously.
The Village of Montebello on Nov. 18 passed Resolution 25‑152 authorizing Village Attorney Warren E. Berbit, or an assistant acting for him, to file a summons, complaint and order to show cause in Rockland County Supreme Court seeking removal of what the resolution describes as an illegally constructed multi‑family residence at 547 Haverstraw Road.
The resolution names the owners as Frantz & Marie E. Verna and states, “representing a danger to health and safety” and that the building inspector and code enforcement officer had previously issued warnings and demands. The minutes reference a Complaint Action Summary identified as #C50225 as the basis for the proposed court filing.
Deputy Mayor Stacy Caridi moved the resolution and Trustee Bruce Egenhauser seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The board’s action authorizes litigation but does not itself adjudicate the property’s legal status; any determination will be made by the court.
No response from the named property owners is recorded in the minutes. The resolution and minutes do not list a hearing date; the action authorized is staff and counsel to proceed with filing court papers as described.
