In the latest statements the city sent out, the house I’ve just finished renovating is listed as a 4 family, however, it was and is a 3 family.

When I purchased the house, I saw that DOF had it listed as 4 family while HPD has it listed as 3 family. The house did not have a C of O. (The house was purchased As Is from the city, so there were no negotiations possible.)

Also, we did a complete gut reno, and are currently working on getting a 3 family C of O.

I once spoke to an attorney about property taxes (for another house) and he said that based on all the market value increases, it was best not to stir the pot; the result could be an even-higher increase.

Would that advice apply now, or should I question the current assessment?
