The developer/owner of the 54 W. Englewood property had – since the Spring of 2025, volunteered to develop a multi-unit residential property that would include 11 affordable housing units. But that developer does not agree to construct that development facility to the specifications the Town approved in early 2026.
The developer has sued Teaneck seeking a change in those specifications. The case was assigned to Judge Corriston who is also the judge cwho must decide whether Teaneck has met its 4th Round affordable housing obligations and therefore has immunity from builders’ remedy litigation. Teaneck has appointed a new attorney firm to defend the Town in this 54 W. Englewood case.
