Brooklyn, New York: For a retail building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Rosenberg & Estis protested the NYC Department of Finance’s property tax assessment in the post-completion year of the ICAP property tax benefit. The city increased the ICAP abatement base 4x over the original abatement, which decreases the future property taxes.

Staten Island, New York: Rosenberg & Estis, P.C. successfully obtained a two-year Tax Commission settlement on a 20,000-sf mixed-use building in Staten Island. The settlement was two years in the making. R&E obtained a property tax assessment reduction for the prior tax year and a two-year tax class change. Our reduction resulted in tax savings of 18%. The Department of Finance had classified the property as an apartment building. R&E successfully convinced the City that it is a mixed-use property that should be classified as an office building, and thus taxed at the lower commercial rate.
