City Hall has them - I was able to walk in one day, and get a photo of my building from 1938 in about 5 min (and free). Very surprised!

Was that before or after Sandy?

I was told by the Jersey City Librarian that the 1938 photos are being stored somewhere by the tax office (post-Sandy) currently and nobody is sure of their whereabouts. Jersey City apparently received a grant to have those old photos digitized but someone in the mayor's office apparently didn't want to pay the balance to have it done, so they're in limbo.

Nothing to restore with vinyl windows. Problem is he won't be able to replace like with like. It's gonna have to be an all wood window in the historic district, whether Marvin, Pella, Anderson or any other of the larger window companies. They will allow casements in place of double hung, but only if they have the simulated check rail and a wide bottom rail to mimic the look of a double hung.

Why is there no "like with like"? I recall there was a case of a chainlink fence in HP that the owner could replace with a new chainlink, but an iron fence would have to be a replica of what was in the historic photo.

Bergen-Lafayette, or at least the areea east of Berry Lane are up up up.

If you click on the up arrows, many of them were paying $2-4k, some were even under $2k.

Mikey, it looked to me like it was some properties assessed more recently than 88, like gut rehabs.

Even though the data released is still incomplete, it's quite obvious that downtown property tax will all go up, Bergen-Lafayette mostly go down, journal square is kind of half half.

ASI won't be mailing value letters until the end of March. Most of the assessments are still "in progress."

At the HCA meeting with Fulop and Solomon on Monday the 12th, it was mentioned that all value letters will be sent by February 19.

Perhaps Terrance McDonald can confirm this date?

Greenville and Bergen-Lafayette, Fulop said last night, have been "subsidizing Downtown or another part of the city for 30 years."

Enough said, and enough is enough!!!!

Look, I've had kind of a weird night. Voters should come up with their own decisions about who to vote for and why. The thing that upsets me is when anonymous people (most of whom I know who they are or I'm pretty sure) sling anonymous, flimsy accusations at people. You don't know me, but I'm pretty sure I know you.

Not all people who work in real estate are evil. Not all anonymous trolls are either. Anonymous smear campaigns should be met with extreme skepticism. Most of the people who post here do not even live here. I think government should be responsive, transparent and should strive to learn from its mistakes.

If you think people (1) notify the bar when they've changed employment or (2) the bar has the manpower to respond immediately when they actually receive notification, I have a bridge to sell you. From personal experience, I can tell you I have updated my employment whenever I have to qualify for continuing education which is every OTHER year.

You post this crap as if (1) you know what you're talking about, which you don't and (2) you've never yourselves dealt with bureaucracy.

This is malicious and also ignorant.

For the record, I don't live in Ward E.
