Petitioner Did Not Demonstrate Diminution in Value Related to Presence of Lead Paint Re: Tax Assessments

In affirming the tax assessment of residential properties in Syracuse, the Court of Appeals, in a full-fledged opinion by Judge Rivera, determined that the petitioner did not make a sufficient showing of the diminution of property values by the presence of lead paint:

In this Real Property Tax Law article 7 proceeding challenging the tax assessments of certain residential properties located in Syracuse, New York, petitioner contends that the trial court erred by failing to consider the impact of contamination — specifically, lead paint — upon the market value of the properties. We hold that petitioner failed to rebut the presumption of validity that attaches to the tax assessments of the properties by the City of Syracuse. That is, petitioner failed to proffer substantial evidence demonstrating a diminution in market value to his properties caused by the mere presence of lead paint. * * *

Where the trial court declined to credit petitioner’s appraisal reports, and the record does not demonstrate a diminution in market value caused by environmental contamination or hazards, petitioner failed to meet his burden and there is no basis to disturb the presumption of validity in the City’s favor. Matter of Roth v City of Syracuse, No 110, CtApp, 6-11-13
