Frankie Goes Upstairs: How To Find The Appellate Court File In Young v. Piermont.
As some Piermont residents have already learned, the
Frank DeCarlo-owned “Piermont Developers LLC” has attacked the Village again.
This time, DeCarlo and his company’s outside counsel Zarin & Steinmetz LLC
just filed a “Brief For Defendants-Appellants” on August 5, 2025 with the
Appellate Division, Second Department. They are appealing Justice Hal Greenwald’s
October 10, 2024 decision and order in Young v. Piermont cancelling a Piermont
Local Law and declaring Piermont’s Central Business Multi-Use (CBM) Zoning
District null, void, and jurisdictionally-invalid. As you know, Justice
Greenwald’s decision put a halt to DeCarlo’s heinous intended development at
447-477 Piermont Avenue.
If you would like to access the appeal papers filed
with the Second Department in Young v. Piermont at any given time, this
is one way to do it:
Step #1. Please first take note of the Second Department’s
Docket Number in this appellate case: 2024-11674. This is a different
number than the New City “Case Number”.
Step #2: Please point your browser to this New York
State Unified Court System website home page:
https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/HomePage
Step #3: On the left, please click on the button
reading “Appellate Court”.
Step #3: On the bottom, click on the button reading
“Search as Guest”.
Step #4: In the dialogue-box reading “Case Number”
now appearing at the upper left-hand corner of the new page that opens up,
please then type-in this appellate court Docket Number:
2024-11674
Step #5: Please then click on the “Search” button
directly to the right of the “Case Number” dialogue-box that you just filled
in.
Step #6: Please then click on the blue-underlined
hotlink reading “2024-11674”, in the upper left-hand corner of the new
page that opens up under “Case # - Received Date”. You will now see a sequence
of at least 9 separate blue-underlined hot-linked documents for your review,
listed on the left-hand side of the page, including two sizeable “Volumes” of
the “Record On Appeal”.
Each public-record document you will find here can
be downloaded and saved as a “.pdf”, and then converted to “jpeg” or to a Word
document as you may wish.
Your independent observations about each of these
court-filed documents will be welcome. I already know that I will have some
comments on the Frankie DeCarlo brief.
