Developer Lists $38M Uninhabitable Hamptons Home Riddled With Violations
- Developer Harry Macklowe listed his Hamptons home for $38 million, but it's uninhabitable due to lack of permits and unpaid fines
- Macklowe illegally cleared land and made additions without permits, violating wetlands protections
- The construction echoes Macklowe's infamous 1985 illegal demolition of NYC buildings with a mob-run company
- The village has not approved retroactive permits, so no one can legally occupy the home, though it can be sold
- Macklowe has a history of brazen development actions without permits, including a dispute with Martha Stewart in the 1990s
