5-year abatements are the norm for new construction and major home improvement. It primarily benefits existing homeowners. So no - it shouldn't restricted.

Then it's time to amend the code so it only applies to certain neighborhoods. Other municipalities have laws like these that apply to new construction only in certain neighborhoods/streets. Of course, we all know how the developers have bought every mayor and city council member in Jersey City.

5 year abatements are governed under a different law than long term abatements. Just about all new construction appears to be eligible, and although the council votes to approve it I believe they have to as long as the application meets the requirements.

Why give a tax break at all? I bet they would still build without one. Downtown JC is hot.

5-year tax break for Downtown Jersey City towerBy JERSEY CITY — The City Council today awarded a five-year tax abatement to a residential tower planned for a lot near the Grove Street PATH station, bucking a recent trend of longer term tax breaks for Downtown towers. The developers of the $170 million 90 Columbus Dr. — a 50-story, 539 unit building set to start construction next month — are also behind the 50-story tower at 70 Columbus Dr. and a 152-room Marriott under construction on top of the PATH station's Marin Boulevard entrance.
