AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to requiring real
  property to be assessed using a fair comparative

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1.  This act shall be known and may be cited as the  "fairness
in assessment act".
  S 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds and
declares  it  necessary  to ensure fair property assessments in New York
City to provide equity for all property taxpayers.
  In New York City, most apartment buildings are assessed  for  taxation
based on the income that they generate for their owners. Condominium and
cooperative  apartment  buildings  do  not  generate income, so they are
assessed by comparing them to similar rental buildings that do  generate
income. The New York City Department of Finance uses building with rent-
regulated units as comparison buildings for many luxury buildings, arti-
ficially  deflating  their  assessments and, necessarily, their property
tax burden.
  Because the city uses a class share system to distribute the  property
tax  burden, any revenue lost from undertaxed properties will be made up
by other properties in that same class. The undertaxing of luxury build-
ings in Class 2 shifts that burden to other Class 2 taxpayers, including
middle income apartment owners and renters in large apartment buildings.
