The challenge is for 1200 and 510-534 West Chester Pike, of which DC Outdoor is a lessee.
Byrne told Haverford Patch that it is the same challenge as the one filed by the Bartkowski Investment Group, which is still in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas. DC Outdoors is under management by Thaddeus Bartkowski, according to the Delaware News Network.
