Judicial Remedies In Pattern And Practice Suits Under The Fair Housing Act Of 1968: United States V. City Of Parma, Karen E. Rubin

Cleveland State Law Review

The elimination of racially segregated housing is a national goal of high priority. This goal is reflected in the pronouncements of law-makers and policy shapers, in decisional law, and in the existence of federal and state legislation designed to eradicate ghettos and replace them with "truly integrated and balanced" communities. Yet segregated housing patterns persist, often finding their source and legitimization in the policies and practices of local governments. This Note will examine an Ohio decision, United States v. City of Parma, and its impact on two issues: the bringing of a "pattern and practice" suit under Title VII of …

Local Government Liability In Virginia For Negligent Inspection Of Buildings, Structures And Equipment, Matthew W. Broughton

University of Richmond Law Review

There is a growing trend in Virginia, as well as in many other states, for injured citizens to hold local governments liable for personal injuries and loss of property resulting from the negligent inspection by building officials of privately owned buildings and structures. The recent abrogation of the doctrine of sovereign immunity in the majority of jurisdictions has served to encourage such litigation, but abrogation alone has proven to be no guarantee of recovery for negligent inspection. Rather, the majority of jurisdictions have continued to enjoy immunity by asserting that building inspectors perform a discretionary governmental function for which no …

Restrictive Covenants - Enforceability Of Assessments Against Property Owners In Residential Developments - Figure Eight Beach Homeowners' Association, Inc. V. Parker, Ernest Rawls Carter Jr., Monty Beck

Campbell Law Review

The North Carolina Court of Appeals in Figure Eight Beach Homeowners' Association v. Parker, rejected the defendant property owner's interpretation of several earlier decisions. The property owner claimed the earlier decisions required affirmative covenants to contain some ascertainable standards by which the court could objectively determine the amount and purposes of the assessments. The Court of Appeals claimed, however, it was applying the same standards set forth in the earlier decisions regarding the enforceability of similar covenants. In essence, the court's adoption of a broader interpretation of the earlier case law validates stricter enforcement of assessment covenants by property …

University of Richmond Law Review

Purchaser's Depreciation Rights In Property Subject To A Lease, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that the purchase of property subject to a lease may produce several types of depreciable interests. Part I of the Note examines the requirements for depreciability and the role that depreciation plays in tax law. It concludes that even where the method set out by Congress also accommodates other goals, depreciation primarily provides a way to recover costs during a depreciable asset's income-producing life. Part II applies these principles to the task of determining whether improvements - for example, buildings on the property subject to the lease - are depreciable in the purchaser's hands. It concludes that …

The Moore House, Susie Van Kirk

The Moore House is recommended for Historic designation for its turn-of-the-century architecture, its visual qualities important to three neighboring houses of historic/architectural significance, and its restoration potential.

The Fleckenstein-Newton House, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

The Fleckenstein-Newton House and Barn are recommended for Historic designation for their historic qualities and potential for restoration. Although the house fails to fit any particular architectural style and has been somewhat altered, it, nonetheless, exhibits some interesting decorative features and, very importantly, has a decided historic quality which complements other houses on the block. The barn, quite handsome and very important to the character of the area, also deserves Historic designation.

Some Thoughts On The Decline Of Private Property, Joseph L. Sax

Washington Law Review

A case could be made for the proposition that property rights have been in a state of more-or-less continuous decline for many decades, and that there is nothing to report on that front but more of the same. I do not agree. I believe that we have moved in recent years from a situation (characterized by conventional urban zoning) in which we generally encourage developmental rights, though recognizing they must from time to time be restrained, to one in which developmental activity has itself become suspect. As a result, we are in the midst of a major transformation in which …
