Riverdale Park Pursues Eminent Domain of Jey’s Auto
“The future of the long-vacant garage at 5731 Baltimore Ave., also known as Jey’s Auto is currently in dispute, with the Riverdale Park Town Council seeking to acquire the address by eminent domain, while the current owner says he is still hoping to develop the property.
“He is making a serious effort to develop the property. He has had previous proposals rejected,” said Jennifer Prizeman, an attorney for property owner Jeyakody Edward, who is opposing the eminent domain.
During a contentious meeting of the Riverdale Park Business Association (RPBA), Edward claimed he had been making every effort to get town approvals of his plans, and that he had never been notified that the property was in poor condition.”
