Glendale Property Owners and Residents Association talk Mamdani’s proposed tax increase at February meeting

In an attempt to close New York City’s multi-billion-dollar budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani proposed a potential 9.5% increase to property taxes. On Feb. 19, the Glendale Property Owners and Residents Association (GPORA) met to discuss their fears around the potential tax hike, citing a comment made by a representative of Council Member Joann Ariola’s office, who called the announcement “political theater” during the annual budget negotiations.
