Resident Urges Court To Ban Apartment Near Med School

Housing for University medical students met opposition yesterday when a Roxbury resident sought an order from Suffolk Superior Court to prevent a $2 million re-development in his neighborhood.

Max Rubin, attorney for John H. L. Sullivan '23, strongly attacked the decision of the Boston Redevelopment Authority to raze over 300 homes and stores near the Medical School. The Authority would build a 270-unit apartment house consisting of one-room suites on the site.

Disputing the Authority's claim that the present area is "decadent," Rubin also charged that since only one apartment building is planned, the rest of the razed area will be left vacant. "We will have another of those glorified parking lots in Boston," he said.
