Sherwin Belkin Quoted in amNewYork Law on Revival of COPA Housing Bill
Sherwin Belkin, founding partner of Belkin Burden Goldman LLP, was quoted in Isabella Gallo’s article in amNewYork Law, which examines the effort to revive the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) after it was vetoed by former Mayor Eric Adams.
In the article, Sherwin raised legal and constitutional concerns about the bill’s core structure, explaining that allowing the government to influence who a property owner may sell to implicates fundamental private property and contract rights, including a seller’s ability to evaluate the financial stability and suitability of prospective buyers.
