Land Use

Land Use Attorney Serving the Greater Boston Area

Joseph M Connors Jr PC Attorney at Law Waltham Massachusetts Land Use Attorney If you are a real estate developer or a commercial or residential property owner and need relief from overly restrictive state or municipal zoning regulations, you have options. However, you need experienced legal counsel before you act or you face potentially costly consequences - you may be served with a cease and desist order, prohibiting you from using the property, may be facing huge fines, and worse yet, you may even be required to tear your building down. Before you decide how to proceed, contact experienced land use lawyer Joseph M. Connors, Jr.

At the offices of Joseph M. Connors, Jr., P.C., in Waltham, we have personally handled over 100 cases involving zoning issues faced by developers and owners of residential and commercial property. Contact us to schedule a meeting to discuss your needs and concerns.

We have acted as counsel for property owners and developers throughout the Greater Boston area and across eastern Massachusetts. We have argued for zoning relief for our clients before many municipal organizations, including:

  • the Waltham City Council
  • the City of Waltham Zoning Board of Appeals
  • the Waltham Historical Commission
  • the Waltham License Commission

Often, the question is as simple as "Can I build this house or this building or this factory?" Frequently, clients will come to us before they purchase commercial or residential property because the decision to purchase the property depends on whether they can do what they want to do with the property. We have successfully petitioned municipal boards throughout the area for special permits providing relief from zoning restrictions or density restrictions, to allow variances from dimensional restrictions, orders of conditions, providing relief from wetland restrictions and other zoning and municipal regulations.

In addition to our land use representation, we also handle landlord-tenant matters and review and draft offers and contracts for residential or commercial real estate transactions. We also represent the local housing authority and have prosecuted residential and commercial evictions throughout eastern Massachusetts. 

We have litigated commercial and land use issues and landlord-tenant disputes in the Land Court, in District Courts and in Superior Courts.

If you need relief from a zoning ordinance, or need advice in a landlord-tenant matter or a real estate transaction, we can help. Contact us for a confidential consultation to discuss your zoning and land use concerns.
