16 THE COURIER SUN • SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.qns.com Legally Speaking By: Scott Baron, Attorney at Law THE RIGHT OF WAY Q: I had been traveling northbound on a two-way street, while the other driver had been traveling eastbound on a two-way avenue. A stop sign controlled vehicles traveling on my street. Nothing governed vehicles traveling on his avenue. I had stopped at the stop sign and looked both ways multiple times before proceeding into the intersection. Then the front of the other car struck the center of my car. A: If the other driver failed to make proper use of his senses and see what is there to be seen – or otherwise did not use reasonable care to avoid the accident – he may be found to have contributed to its happening, even though he was traveling with the right-of-way. Suppose that the other driver’s passenger recalls that, prior to entering the intersection, the other driver observed your car stopped at the stop sign. Nevertheless, within the number of seconds available, he took no evasive action. Or suppose that bystanders have testified that the other driver was traveling at an excessive rate of speed; or saw him engaged with his cell phone; or saw that his head was down, and afterwards a cell phone was found on his lap. By all means talk to an attorney. Even though it may seem, at first blush, that this tragedy occurred simply because you failed to yield the right-ofway, Advertorial the attorney may sense that the evidence will show that yours is a far The law responds to changed conditions; exceptions and variations abound.

The property to be sold is located in the Borough of Queens, City and State of New York, and known as: Address Block/Lot(s) 410 Beach 43 Street 15960 / 8 423 Beach 43 Street 15965 / 108 472 Beach 47 Street 15969 / 35 431 Beach 46 Street 15969 / 60 on the tax map of the City (“Disposition Area”). The proposed project is part of the City's Build-It-Back Program for Sandy recovery. Under the Build-It- Back Program, new homes are constructed to replace homes that were damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. In most cases, the new homes are constructed on the same property where the damaged or destroyed homes were located. However, where the storm-damaged homes are in an area where there is a higher risk of hazardous flooding, the new homes are constructed elsewhere. The families who had lived in the storm-damaged homes then acquire and relocate to the newly constructed homes. Under the proposed project, the City proposes to sell the Disposition Area to Project Rebuild, Inc., the designated sponsor, for the nominal price of one dollar per tax lot. The sponsor will then construct three one-family homes and one two-family home in the Disposition Area as replacement homes for four families whose current properties were damaged or destroyed by Sandy and are in a high risk area for flooding. When completed, the sponsor will convey the new homes to such families in exchange for their current storm-damaged property. The City proposes to sell the Disposition Area to the sponsor at the nominal price of one dollar per tax lot pursuant to Section 507(2)(d) of the GML. The sponsor will then construct three one-family homes and one two-family home on the Disposition Area to provide five dwelling units. The proposed Land Disposition Agreement and the Plan are available for public examination at the office of HPD, 100 Gold Street, Room 5-A4, New York, New York during its regular hours on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a public hearing will be held on September 14, 2016 at 1 Centre Street, Manhattan, Mezzanine at 10:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be reached on the calendar, at which time and place those wishing to be heard will be given an opportunity to be heard concerning the proposed sale of the Disposition Area pursuant to Section 507(2)(d) of the GML and Section 1802(6)(j) of the Charter.
