Property Tax Roll Released

The city quietly released the 2001/02 tentative assessed valuations today. Although the printed books won't be on the counter until Tuesday, January 16, owners can quickly look up their new tentative assessed values today by going to this link: http://nycserv.nyclink.org:80/nycproperty/nynav/jsp/choseassess.jsp

You must have your block and lot available. To see the new AVs, then choose the list from January 15, 2001.

If you don't have your block and lot and own an office building or a residential building that was recently for sale or had a store for rent, and have access to CoStar, you may be able to find it by choosing the "Listings" tab.

My secret, middle of the night method to get block and lots:

Call the Buildings Department BIS system at 212 312 8467 from a fax phone. Don't jump the choices here and be methodical in punching the buttons because the machine is very sensitive and will simply tell you it's "sorry you are having trouble, goodbye."

One option is to punch in the house number and street name, ask for a fax of the "overview," and the fax will come back to you with the borough block and lot number. Don't be surprised if it also tells you there are outstanding violations on the building - even if it's a vacant lot. Hey, at least you can clean those up too.
