It’s been a few months since we checked in with the construction headache at 339 Greene Avenue. While the demolition process (courtesy of MMG) was a complete disaster with safety and quality of life complaints out the wazoo, we haven’t heard much from the community since actual construction began on what will ultimately be a 57-unit, 12-story building. What’s the word?

Bail me out? What the h*ll are you talking about? Just pay your share jacka$$!
The question I think isn’t why 3:10 is paying more in taxes but why a townhouse owner is paying so much less than than a condo owner with so much less space.
@4:26.
That is just the nature of the beast for condo buying and I don’t feel it to be a poor economic decision. What is BS are townhouse owners being nimbys and restricting supply and crying about a building next to them that might be taller than their own and only paying a few thousand in real estate taxes. Townhouse owners are like rent control people, they feel entilted to lower rent or in this case lower taxes for vastly more space.
To 3:10: you made a poor economic decision and you expect the rest of us to bail you out? And you are angry? You have no one to blame but your self. Why would you enter into such a transaction?
Is there a rendering of this property Brownstoner?
Do brownstone owners really pay that much less than conod and co-op owners? That is some messed up system!
And these brownstone owners are the ones the kids and they pay hardly anything for the schools and services from the city and yet they demand to restrict supply for the rest of us?
I pay $7,800 a year on tax and without the J-51 tax abatement and when it expires it will cost me over $15,000 a year for my 1,100 sf condo. Yet a person that owns over 5,000 sf brownstone only pays around $3,000 a year and they don’t have to pay a comon charge. And these are the nimbys that are restricting supply, implemting height restrictions, creating very low ceiling height developments for us to choose from.
I hate brownstone owners! Screw them. I hope a kid spray paints your house and you move to Westchester or NJ.
Owning a $1 million property/condo/co-op/townhouse makes you hardly rich. A million is nothing these days. To talk about the million dollars when we were kids (i.e. 10 years ago) you need 7-10 million in todays dollars. A million today is waht $200,000 thousand was back then.
Rich is if you’re worth/have over $10 million. I can afford $900k condo but I’m stretched financially and working like a dog 60-70 hours a week.
I think we need to implement a special property tax class for historic brownstones. For any property that is a “mansion” ie worth over $1mm, they should be assessed at 100% of market value immediately, with no phase in. If these people want to screw the rest of Brooklyn, let them pay for the privilege.
Tax the rich, not the workers!
