Who gives a s#%t about Edelman and his firm!
What matters is the popints made above.
All of the illegal apartments would likely yield a fortune. “In the space of half a block in my neighborhood their are 3 single family houses that are 2 family dwellings. Have been for years and all of the authorities know about them and do nothing. Interesting they are all from the I’m an italian family club, many with connections to city haul.”
Again Hezi, who owns these buildings and why aren’t they taxed as multiple family dwellings?
Answer:
No accountability.
No interest in upsetting the apple cart.
No desire to do what is right from Amicone to Lesnick etc…

Lawyers for ailing 9/11 Ground Zero responders padded expenses, court papers charge

Lawyers for 10,000 sickened Ground Zero workers padded their expenses by $400,000 – billing for flacks, lobbyists and so-called experts, court papers filed Monday charge.
The law firm of Worby Groner Edelman & Napoli Bern was accused of bulking up its bill to circumvent the 25% contingency fee agreement on a $712 million settlement hammered out for ill workers.
“No World Trade Center responder should pay any of these costs,” said Andrew Carboy, whose firm represents 700 workers, most of them firefighters.
Carboy’s firm, Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo, filed papers in Manhattan Federal Court yesterday, laying out its rival’s questionable billing practices.
The court papers contend that Worby Groner Edelman & Napoli Bern wrongly portrayed more than $220,000 in lawyers fees as costs for scientific and medical experts.
“This is not the case,” Carboy wrote in the court documents, explaining that one of the so-called experts lost his medical license and was deemed a “threat to public health.”
A spokeswoman for Worby Groner Edelman & Napoli Bern did not return calls.

So this week dollar fill gave away about $10 million in taxbreaks at the YIDA. Now he’s looking to get tough. Please this guy is a joke a minute. The city council ought to get that overpaid and under worked audit firm to calculate just exactly how much revenue has been lost to these tax giveaways over the last 15 years. Dollar for dollar including all of the abatements, PILOTS, Free Tax agreements, sales tax exemptions, mortgage tax exemptions. I bet in all total we would not have to pay property taxes for about 3 years or more if the truth be known.
Another poster said that all of the illegal apartments would likely yield a fortune. In the space of half a block in my neighborhood their are 3 single family houses that are 2 family dwellings. Have been for years and all of the authorities know about them and do nothing. Interesting they are all from the I’m an italian family club, many with connections to city haul. So why does Fill, tackle this problem? Because he’s a coward,just like he was in dealing with the unions.

Also, do all residents that use a non Yonkers postal address pay COY income tax surcharge? City haul was asked and they think the state monitors it.

yep
watch the foreclosures carefully and see how many properties go to the IDA/CDA and transferred to favorite developers for dollar deals, grants and loans that aren’t paid back.
want to bet most of these properties are in the downtown Amicone and friends crashed….
Watch.
