Despite complaints from some residents that they were blindsided about the amount of their special taxes, Manhattan city commissioners on Tuesday approved levying special assessments for 14 benefit districts in Manhattan.
These are areas in which work was done to improve a district, and now the city government is levying special assessments against the benefiting properties.
The sites are Candlewood Shopping Center turn lane street improvements; The Highlands at Grand Mere, Unit Two — sanitary sewer, street, and water; Stagg Hill Golf Course waterline improvements; Elijah Addition — sanitary sewer, street, and water; Henry Addition — sanitary sewer, street, and water; Genesis Health Club sidewalk improvements; and Stagg Hill Business Community Addition sewer and water extension.
