OCEAN CITY — It remains to be seen if Dumser’s Dairyland’s current landlord will be successful appealing a Circuit Court decision to allow the town to ultimately remove the structure, but if the city assumes ownership, the iconic resort business will not be its tenant.
Earlier this year, a Worcester County Circuit Court judge ruled in favor of the Town of Ocean City in a land ownership dispute over a building on the east side of the Boardwalk at South Division Street. The ownership of the land in which the historic building sits was called into question last year after a 50-year agreement reached in 1966 between the heirs of the original owner, Nathan Rapoport, and the Town of Ocean City expired.
As a result, the Rapoport heirs, known as Nathan Associates, are enjoined from any use of the property after Oct. 31 and the plaintiffs are required to remove or demolish the structure by Dec. 31.
Caught in the middle of the land ownership dispute is Dumser’s, which does not own the building, but merely leases it from the Rapoport heirs, just as it has done for decades.

It's very ironic that Meehan handed the Caroline St. comfort station to the homeless and did not get anything for the town in exchange (except for all the daily crimes that they commit). He also gave out-of-town thugs exclusive use of the boardwalk from midnight to sunup, again for nothing. Now he wants to take this building because the taxpayers aren't getting any benefit from it? Face it, OC, we need a new mayor. A real mayor could and would negotiate a deal that was fair to all concerned...and clear out the comfort station...and allow the police to make the boardwalk safe again.
there was a contract, it expired.
the town never gave up ownership
if you and i sign a 50year lease, do i own the property at the end of that time?
Law Dictionary: What Is Ingress & Egress In Real Estate?
An easement is a negotiated agreement in which a property owner gives others the right to limited use and access to the land. A landlocked owner of property might negotiate an easement agreement with an adjoining property owner granting the right to cross over the adjoining land to access a public road. Easements can be as restrictive, such as allowing only for foot traffic, or as broad as the parties to the agreement decide.
The easement agreement is recorded with the county clerk once it is reduced to writing and signed by the parties. Recording an easement gives notice to future owners of its existence and terms, so they will be obligated to abide by it. Failing to record an easement could result in the loss of a property owner?s rights to ingress and egress in the event of a sale or transfer of ownership of either parcel.
OC is a dump either way!
Watch, tricky Rick will have his BFF Peck Miller list it, just as he feeds him inside deals all the time. Not without a realtor referral of course.
Joe this just came up on the Salisbury Fire Department website.
Dumb A$$ Jake Day and Rick Hoppes is at it again. They forced the volunteers out of the city and now they are hiring a full time mechanic for the Salisbury Fire Department. Not a lie, this is a fact.

I don't blame Dumser's one bit. Give it to the city so what the half wit council can waste it on nonsense like they do.
The OC greed is coming out - they should give the recent previous owners and the current tenants rights of first and second refusal on a new contract. That would be fair and equitable and continue the business relationships from the past.
Force Dumser's out and we will never set foot in OC again.
Okay I hope you just made a mistake posting this under this article about Dumsers.
Stop being such snowflakes. When your lease is up time to renegotiate. Its simple if you can't come to an agreement life will go on.
This is just the person expense. All the tools specialty tools and test equipment vehicle lifts etc

No, because you would be dead after 50 years lol
There's a contract. If Dumsers doesn't want to rent from their new landlord they can leave. Not OC's fault.
Most all of the Town officials in OC are shysters. I have warned people time and time again to stay the hell out of OC. Between the sales taxes, licenses, front foot assessments, water bill, sanitary taxes, it is truly a TAX HELL!!!
If you don't think so - pick up the telephone and call any of the Trimpers!!
I told Granville Trimper before his death - that the day reckoning was upon him and his family - and - then I was informed by Mr. Granville Trimper himself - that his real estate tax bill was more than 1 million dollars per year for his boardwalk properties.
He already has a person lined up for the job so no need to apply. That is why it has sucha short closing date to it, otherwise it would take some time to fill it with those requirements!!!
^^^^ sure you did
What? Do they need another bar in OC? Another place to sell vulgar tee shirts? Remove a landmark for what? Did they own slaves?
So they won't be tenants there, but they have 2 other restaurants in town and one outside. Whats the beef?
It's just like David and Goliath. The little guy is getting bullied by the city.
Its just a junky ice cream place. A deal is a deal. You signed a 50 year deal now the gravy train is coming to an end. They knew this day was coming 50 years ago and should have planned accordingly. Its the heirs who let the original owner down by not being in front of this.
1:39, you must have just arrived here last week! When Dumser's leaves here and goes to atlantic City instead,people will flock to Atlantic City, or OC up there.
OCMD will be a BIG loser in the move!
