In 1987, Appeals Court Overturned Boardwalk Property Case

OCEAN CITY — Although most lower court appeals are unsuccessful, it appears in the ongoing case involving a landmark Boardwalk building that recent history might be on the side of the family.

In July, a Worcester County Circuit Court judge ruled in favor of the Town of Ocean City in a land ownership dispute with the heirs of an historic building on the east side of the Boardwalk near South Division Street near the Inlet. The ownership of the land on which the iconic building sits was called into question after a 50-year agreement reached in 1966 between the heirs of the original owners, Nathan Rapoport, and the Town of Ocean City expired.

The Rapoport heirs have until Oct. 31 to vacate the building, which they have leased to Dumser’s Dairyland for decades, and until Dec. 31 to remove or demolish the historic structure that lies in the city’s easement or right-of-way known as Atlantic Avenue. The Rapoport heirs, known as Nathan Associates, will appeal the decision.

I dunno. Something tells me things have changed since 1987 and Guy Guy (with help from his minions since the sands in the hour glass are getting fewer and fewer) know they can legally defend against an appeal so City FAIL wins again. No one beats Guy Guy!
