According to Court Filings, Little Falls Land Sale Process Challenged in Article 78 Proceeding

A Little Falls resident has filed a Supreme Court challenge questioning how multiple municipal properties were listed and handled by the city.

According to official court records and documents reviewed by TVOTT Hillbilly News, Little Falls resident filed an Article 78 proceeding in Herkimer County Supreme Court involving the City of Little Falls, Mayor Deborah Kaufman in her official capacity, and the Common Council of the City of Little Falls.

Documents reviewed by our newsroom include an “Order to Show Cause” connected to the proceeding. The filing requests the court review multiple municipal property listings and related sale procedures involving city-owned parcels.

The petition seeks several forms of relief, including:

Reviewing and potentially annulling certain listing agreements tied to municipal lots

Challenging transactions involving parcels not yet finalized

Requesting compliance with city charter and local code regarding future municipal property sales

Requesting restrictions on additional sales or transfers while the matter is reviewed

Documents provided to TVOTT Hillbilly News also reference multiple parcels allegedly connected to the matter, including locations on West Monroe Street, Furnace Street, Diamond Street, King Street, Garden Street, Glen Avenue, West Main Street, Davis Street, Loomis Street, and Skinner Street.

TVOTT Hillbilly News has not independently verified every claim made within the petition or related communications connected to the filing.

At this time, a finalized written court order or judgment has not been provided to our newsroom. The matter remains ongoing and subject to further court proceedings and response from the City and other parties involved.
