Stair-struck

A business owner complained to us after his municipality informed him that a set of stairs on the back of his building encroached on municipal property. He told us his family had operated a business in the building for 40 years before buying the land from the city in 2004 and had never been told the stairs weren’t on his own property.

RESULT: After we spoke with municipal officials, they worked with him to resolve the encroachment issue. The man was grateful for our help in facilitating the process.
