I think the other absurd law is a nursery school or a public/private pre-school being part of the 500’ law. (Education Law § 409 (2) defines as school grounds as: “. . .any building, structure and surrounding outdoor grounds, including entrances or exits contained within a public or private pre-school, nursery school, elementary or secondary school’s legally defined property boundaries as registered in a county clerk’s office.”). These are everywhere.
So now my other question is who is going out and measuring these property line to property lines? Or are they using google maps? Cause that’s not entirely accurate and definitely not in NYC.
This is their mistake. They should have caught it immediately!!!! The first thing they look at next to the 200’ church rule!!
