Advice - how to safeguard my rights ? Demolition/dev. to begin next door


Last week we received notice of demolition which will be taking place directly next to our house in Crown Heights.

The gossip on the street is that this double lot house/vacant space will be developed into medium rise condominiums.

How can I find out what the developers plans are, and how can I be sure that they do not overbuild ? Are there proactive steps that I should be taking now – such as taking pictures of the exterior of my house etc. etc. ? Who should I turn to for advice – a RE lawyer ? An Architect ?

Any advice would be appreciated.
