Annual "Reassessment" increase from the Department of Finances

It is official, the Whitestone Jewels property just received a 70.6% "Reassessment" decrease while all of our residential Homeowners just got in the mail their "Reassessment" increase of on average 25%.

As many of you are aware our organization in a pre-emptive move informed our Councilman that the Whitestone Jewels tax break seemed excessive and unfair. The Councilman informed our group that they did not get a "Tax Break" but a "Reassessment". Well, a "Reassessment" has direct impact on our annual Real Estate Taxes, and now that we all received our "Reassessments" in the mail, why did the small individual residential homeowner get an increased "Reassessment"?

This does not seem fair to us at Malba Gardens Civic, Why do the Homeowners have to foot the bill once again? The small local working class family who actually live in the community, why did they get an increase?



CALL YOUR LOCAL COUNCILMAN, ASSEMBLYMAN, SENATOR, AND ANYONE ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF AND DEMAND THIS BE REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY. ENOUGH OF UNFAIR TAXES. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO CARRY THE LOAD WHILE THE DEVELOPERS GET THE RIDICULOUS DISCOUNTS? THIS IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

We at Malba Gardens do not have an anti development view, we just request that the law be followed and all impact studies be done. We also request that if their is an alternative that would aleviate congestion we should explore it. A community center with a garden is just a suggestion, as is a private park for the residents only.

Please read our posts and familiarize yourself with what we are saying. As always your input is welcome.

How are the residents of 7th avenue and 152nd street coping with the New, Modern,Progessive Commercial buildings?

When a property recieves a 50% tax break, our question is why not the rest of the community, you know the ones that live here.
