96-738C • CITY LINE JOINT VENTURE, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Filed 05/26/2006
Fifth Amendment Taking: The effect of statutory restrictions on a contract right to prepay a federally insured mortgage as set forth in the Emergency Low Income Housing Preservation Act of 1987 ("ELIHPA"), 12 U.S.C. § 1715l note, and the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act of 1990 ("LIHPRHA"), 12 U.S.C. § § 4101- 4124. Ripeness of Claim: (i) A litigant is not required to pursue a final administrative determination that could not, on the facts of the case, have been decided in his favor in order to ripen his claim; (ii) a statutory provision allowing the sale of a property in lieu of mortgage prepayment does not qualify as a compensation mechanism given in exchange for statutory restrictions. Regulatory Taking: Application of the Penn Central factor - the character of the government's action, the economic impact of that action, and the reasonableness of the investmentbacked expectations - precludes a finding of a taking where the economic impact is insubstantial and outweighs the other factors. Signed by Judge Wiese.
