The Abatement Program provides partial tax relief for condo owners and co-op tenant-shareholders to reduce the disparity in property tax paid between residential Class 2 properties (i.e., condominiums and cooperatives) and Class 1 properties (i.e., one-, two-, and three-family homes), which are assessed at a lower percentage of market value.

Here are some short explanations:

Condominium – The type of ownership in real property where all of the owners own the property, common areas and buildings together, with the exception of the interior of the unit to which they have title.

Cooperative – An apartment building or a group of dwellings owned by a corporation, the stockholders of which are the residents of the dwellings. It is operated for their benefit by their elected board of directors. In a cooperative, the corporation or association owns title to the real estate. A resident purchases stock in the corporation which entitles him to occupy a unit in the building or property owned by the cooperative.

Condop – The term given to a co-op that has rules and by-laws similar to that of a condominium. The freedom to sublet, put only 10% down at closing, and easy board approval are characteristics of a condo that have been adopted by a co-op. Such properties have become commonly known as condops. Closing costs will be similar to that of a co-op (significantly lower than condos) and the buyer will be purchasing shares in a corporation rather than real property.

A StreetEasy Insider account is just $10 a month.

Insiders have the ability to see all closing sale prices, which includes the parties involved in the sale. Insiders can search for properties by closed sales and party names. Insiders may also receive hourly email updates reporting any changes on their saved listings and searches.

To the left of every comment, under the commenter’s name is a “flag” link. Clicking this link will send our support staff a notice that this comment may be offensive. Our team will review and, if found to be inappropriate, remove the comment.

The next time you post a new discussion or reply to an existing topic, you will have the option to create a “Display Name” for yourself. From then on, the name you choose will be your public identity on StreetEasy Talk and, if not changed, will default to your existing login.

On many pages on the StreetEasy site you will see an orange “SAVE” button. This button saves whatever item you are looking at and notifies you by email whenever it changes. For example:

• Searches – you will be notified whenever new listings come on the market that match that search, or when there are price changes for listings matching the search.
• Buildings – you will be notified whenever listings close or come on the market for that building.
• Listings – you will be notified of price or status changes for a listing.
• Discussions – you will be notified whenever there are new messages posted to a discussion.

When saving an item you will then be asked to place that saved item in a list. Lists are an easy way to group your saved items together. For example if you have a set of listings on the Upper East Side you could save them in a List called “Upper East Side Listings.”

On the page for a building you will see Active listings, In-Contract listings, Recorded Sales and Previous listings.

• Active listings are listings that are currently available and on the market.
• In-Contract listings are listings where the buyer and seller have entered into contract, but the sale has not been made yet.
• Recorded Sales come from the NY City records. These are sales that have closed and have been reported to the city. Sales take anywhere from 6 days to up to 90 days to be reported.
• Previous listings are listings that are no longer on the market, or have been removed from the broker website. They may be sold, temporarily off the market, or have been taken off the market for other reasons.

First put in your search parameters for open houses. From the results, click on the orange “SAVE” button corresponding to your desired listings. This will save the listing to a list of all the open houses you have saved for that specific day. From these lists, which will be named by date, you can reorder, rename and print out your itinerary. Your lists will be saved until you delete them.

When viewing your list, place your cursor on the listing you want to move. Click and hold on the blue “DRAG,” then drag it to another position on the list.

When viewing your list, click the orange “PRINT” button. This will bring you to a printable page with your arranged open houses with pictures and maps of their locations.

The Open House Planner is a tool that lets you create lists of open houses. These lists can be used as an itinerary and be reordered, renamed, and printed out to show the open houses on maps.

Hotsheets are daily emails with all of the listings that are new to StreetEasy that day.
