Zarin & Steinmetz attorney Lee J. Lefkowitz obtained a significant win for a developer building a 16-unit multifamily housing project in Orange County. The lawsuit—Garden Housing v. Noam Estates, No. EF003060-2025—sought to block construction of the approved project through claims of trespass and a request for a preliminary injunction.
The plaintiff, a neighboring property owner, filed suit after approvals had been granted and construction had commenced, seeking to halt work. Lefkowitz and the Zarin & Steinmetz team moved swiftly to defend the developer’s rights. The court denied the request for an injunction and dismissed the case in full at the parties’ very first court appearance, clearing the way for the project to proceed without delay.
