Discussion about 303 East 33rd Street #2D
Woohoo! $1,000 price drop! That gets it sold!
no, but it may pick up more viewers who are filtering everything at 2.2m and above.
I dunno, is it worth 2.199m? 2 BR (2nd BR is miniscule), itty bitty kitchen (and yet an enormous 2nd bath). Strange wasted space in the MBR hallway (just to create a 'private' bath/closet area), and outdoor space. This really looks like a situation where one architect did the exterior and structure, and another, junior, architect tried to fit in the developer's programming requirements. Not a layout I'd be happy in.
It has the large private backyard. But I'd be concerned that when the tax abatement expires that backyard causes a massive spike in property tax assessment over what it would be if it were just the apartment with no private outdoor space. The current listed tax rate seems low.
The way condos get assessed it that the whole building gets assessed as if it were a rental property and then the taxes get apportioned based on your percentage of common interest in the building. As such, whatever the ratio of taxs paid on this apartment to those on any other apartment will remain constant. Taking a look at 8N which is asking the same price and has the same taxes, this will remain so in the future (i.e. the taxes will always be the same as the taxes on that unit). However I can tell you that either the current common or taxes on one of those 2 units is misstated because the ratio of common charges to taxes is a constant for all units in a building and those 2 are not.
