As you may remember, Forest City Ratner, developer behind the Atlantic Yards, hit a little snafu in the planning stages when it claimed to own or control more land than it actually did, namely the lots at the corner of Carlton and Vanderbilt. The snafu came in the form of property owner Henry Weinstein, who fought Shaya Boymelgreen’s attempt to assign his lease to Forest City Ratner. Weinstein took Boymelgreen to court and legally took possession on September 18, but according to the Atlantic Yards Report, he just received the eviction notice from the Sheriff’s Office yesterday. (Note: This post has been updated because it was, well, completely wrong to start with.)
