Not J.C. but could Nyc new plan to segregate all public scools come to this side of the river ? McNair-Academic could be affected if this shows good fortune to our neighbors to the east.

LOL paying $40k on a rate of 1.62% means a valuation of $2.5mm. Take that $2.5mm property and pay the average state tax rate (I forget the exact, but spot it at 2.23% to be generous) and you'd pay $55061. So, yes, that person is getting a STEAL of a deal.

LMAO, Yvonne, you are a funny one. I'll give it to you though; at least you're consistently hilarious.

I agree with Yvonne, it's not about the rate it's the absurd assessment that hurts, although we here in the Heights section have been over charged for years now.

Just saw a new station on Glenwood between JFK and West Side Avenue by the Saint Peter's Campus. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but the rack really does block the sidewalk given the foot traffic that normally is on that stretch of sidewalk.

Better there than in the street where traffic flows at an safe speed and too close for comfort.

Vacant lots have more value then ones with houses on them. You don't have to buy a house to only knock it down in order to build a new house so it is more appealing that way.

as for taxes, we have not gotten the letter stating new taxes for 2018 after the reval. so i have no information to post.

condo is on pavonia ave, 1 block from hamilton park.

Based on the new tax rate and the selling price the taxes should be around $11k.

India has nothing to do with Jersey City that in itself would be pure drivel, instead focus on the unjust treatment of our citizens by corrupt politicians in this town.

You can be assured one of them will be Yvonne, who will mug for the TV cameras and repeat her lies over and over.

Nick I see so much negativity towards Yvonne, are you a home owner and do you consider yourself affected by this reval ? Also are you pleased with the abatements and city services ? Just want to know why you do not think Yvonne's reasoning is valid.

well, maybe its time for fulop and team to stop handing out tax abatements as if they're halloween candy


FWIW I looked into 10 Provost Square (new building near Grove St PATH) a few weeks ago and they have no tax abatement...so maybe the tide is starting to turn.


Condos with tax abatement still pays fair taxes..

All the rental buildings are still getting 30 year tax abatements. T

Look up the tax records for owners of abated properties, it's not hard if you know the address. Check out what they pay it's a fraction of what a normal taxed property is around here.

Just add up the totals that the Downtown section paid in 2017 compared to what the Heights paid in that same year and you will get the picture.

I don't have an answer to how landlords will deal with it, but property owners in general should expect a dip in their property values to "even-out" the difference. (Example a house worth $500,000 and $10,000 annual taxes might now be worth $480,000 if they're facing $25,000 taxes. Don't get bent out of shape over the numbers, I just pulled them out of the air.)

Market value will dictate the assessments. The Mayor's house was purchased for $800k the new tax rate is predicted to be around $16 per a grand. His house is now assessed at $100k multiplied by the current rate of $77 so he is paying around $8k but at the new rate the mayor could be looking at a $5k jump to near $13k in annual taxes.

My Samsung 46" that I paid $1k for is acting up too, but I fear a 7 year old TV is elderly these days, and not worth repairing.

I'll never buy a Samsung product again, my 10 year old Samsung fridge is on it's 3rd motherboard and is rusting out around the ice dispenser.

Avoid fridge problems buy a dial controlled appliance. The computer board's only purpose is for the digital display and controls. The condenser and compressor will still operate without the bells and whistles. A bad board is like a bad fuse it acts as a go between. My GE Profile had a bad board the new one was a modified version, so I protested about the change got a break on the repair, I also put a claim into loss prevention for the spoiled food got another break, and along with a partial warranty the cost went from $400 to $170.

Try this one - it's in a pretty convenient location -

https://newjersey.craigslist.org/apa/d ... apartment/6463569658.html

It includes electricity so it must be an illegal dwelling, I'd be cautious.

I mentioned this issue and the Captain is well aware of it and knows it happens frequently. Tickets are issued when it occurs and it is a big ticket 8 points and the violation is issued to both the driver and owner of the vehicle.

I'm having a hard time believing this story especially the eight shot on Manhattan Ave. and nothing in the newspaper. The OP is a newbie to this site so not sure of his credibility. I'll ask the captain at the Captain's Meeting next week on Wednesday.

I think GP made a very significant point and is relevant. I am sure municipal governments, insurance companies, police departments, and health facilities look at these incidents and measure the statistics to see if there is a pattern and where the source of this dilemma is attributed.
