NYC Condo Tax abatement for non-owner occupied condos

Could it be that the abatement expired for the whole building? Especially as you share it was removed for resident owners as well as absentee landlord owners.

I own a condo in nyc that I’ve rented out since 2018. I noticed my July 2023 property tax bill jumped 25% and it’s because the abatement was removed. The abatement was removed for all unit owners regardless if it was their primary residence or not.

I inquired with my building manager and he relayed the abatement was for units which were primary residences only. Now a case is opened with NYC Tax.

Will NYC try to claw back the taxes from when I originally rented the unit out? Is there anything I can do to prevent that?

why were you getting the abatement to begin with if it wasn’t your primary residence?

I lived in the condo for 5 years. The condo had an ongoing property tax abatement for all unit owners. Once I rented it out it was no longer my primary residence.

I never understood why people buying $$$ condos deserved property tax breaks, or why people living in $$$ brownstones only pay a fraction of the property taxes that non abated condo owners pay. the system is so beyond broken.
