An Expensive Mistake, That

From the Dumbass File:
A developer who mistakenly built a $1.8 million waterfront house on parkland has been ordered to remove it.

The Rhode Island Supreme Court found that the Narragansett home was built entirely on land owned by the Rose Nulman Park Foundation, and therefore must be removed.

The developer, Four Twenty Corp., began building the home in 2009, but it didn't discover the error until 2011 when it tried to sell the house and the prospective buyers got a survey.
They didn't get a survey first and stake out the property?

And then they went on the legal theory that they could sue and force the proper landowner to sell to them because they fucked up?

    Makes you wonder if "420 corp." is an apt name.
