Dan Goldstein has been one of the most vocal opponents of the Atlantic Yards project.

“I certainly no longer feel like I'm a free citizen of New York City,” Goldstein told NY1.

But while he has been putting up a fight, he says he never thought he’d have to wage one just to get friends and family up to his seventh-floor Prospect Heights condo. He says it’s a battle to get into his apartment now that his street is fenced off and security guards are on patrol 24 hours a day.

“It’s a very strange situation that certainly doesn't feel right, to be told about who has access to my home,” Goldstein said.

Goldstein, his wife, and daughter are the only ones left living in the Pacific Street building, after refusing a buyout deal from the project's developer.

A judge last week ruled the state could use eminent domain in order to move forward.

Just days later, the state closed the street and told Goldstein he needs to give security advance notice if guests are coming.

“I feel that the state, Forest City Ratner have no problem making life difficult for me at this point, because there's no reason they have to make it as difficult as they've been making it over the past two days,” he said.

In a statement, the Empire State Development Corporation said, “We are aware of Mr. Goldstein's concerns. The goal is to disrupt Mr. Goldstein and the other occupants' lives as little as possible while addressing the safety and security issues related to the development of the Atlantic Yards project."

The project calls for residential and commercial development, as well as a new arena for the Nets basketball team, which is slated to open in 2012.

Goldstein says if his final legal battles fail, he expects to be evicted sometime over the summer. After that, he does not know what the future holds.
