Call to tear down Burg’s Finger

Following a successful lawsuit that resulted in the under-construction Finger building in Williamsburg being capped at 10 stories rather than 16, plaintiff Scott Spector is now saying that the building’s developers–who include Mendel Brach, Moshe Owen and architect Robert Scarano–will have to tear down the entire building. Spector originally sold the Finger site to the development team in 2004, and he owns many adjacent properties. Spector’s attorney says the Finger’s development team used land and air rights that actually belonged to Spector in order to construct the building, and that the incomplete building must therefore be razed. Spector is also planning “disciplinary action” to keep Scarano from continuing to practice as an architect. more [The Architect’s Newspaper; sub req’d]
