Why Did Justin Brannan Give Property Tax Exemptions To These Buildings – Everyone Needs to Pay Some Property Taxes!
On Twitter, Brannan told a Republican that paying taxes is important.
Yet, in December Justin Brannan put in the paperwork and asked NYC Council for property tax exemptions for huge buildings in Manhattan and Queens. (See paperwork and 4 minute NYC Council Meeting video here)
Let’s look at the properties and figure out why a Brooklyn Councilman thought it was a “cool idea” to give these exemptions.
1. Manhattan – Block 1539, Lot 10 – 225 East 93rd Street – 13 stories and 133 units. (See street view) Seniors with subsidized housing are living here, but the building still should be paying property taxes.
This a huge tax exemption to give this building. These are the taxes:

2. Manhattan – Block 1904, Lot 6 – 157 West 119th Street – 5 stories/20 units. The tax on it is: $79,972 (Source)
This building shows there is a lot of outstanding taxes:
3. Property 1 – See Acris Paper work
Manhattan – Block 1831, Lot 53 – 240 West 116 Street (12 units 5 stories – stores. This building had boiler problems – see here
Justin Brannan asked that they be exempt from these property taxes:
4. Queens – Block 9663, Lot 2: 80-08 135th Street
This property and the one below are the same owner related – see paperwork from NYC.
This building is huge! See here and has huge property taxes:

5. Queens – Block 9663, Lot 20 is at 81-10 – 135th Street in Queens
This property and the one above are the same owner related – see paperwork from NYC.
Why would NYC give up this much property taxes? This is for one year:
6. Queens – Block 1909, Lot 1 is at 94-14 55th Avenue in Queens
See here
7. Queens – Block 1956, Lot 29
This is a huge tax exemption:
Paperwork has two properties – see here
There are also strange land use applications that Justin Brannan submitted for other boroughs – see here
Not one journalist or paper in NYC reported on these property tax exemptions.
Our community elected Justin Brannan to help our community – not to help Manhattan or Queens property owners score property tax exemptions!
