By property type, houses sold at a $1.4 million median on 45 sales, co-ops at $377,000 on 16 sales and condos at $580,000 on 11 sales. A Gravesend owner comparing a tax bill to the market should compare against their own property type, not the blended median.
The NYC Tax Commission must receive a Class 1 application by March 15, and Class 2, 3 and 4 applications by March 1. Class 1 owners use form TC108, and the deadline cannot be extended. Notices of Property Value arrive on or about January 15, and the tax year runs July 1 to June 30. Source: nyc.gov, Tax Commission.
The Tax Commission’s site states that an application must be filed by mail or in person and cannot be filed by email. Joseph Ranola is a real estate broker and not a tax advisor or attorney, so an owner who wants a representative for the filing should hire one. Joseph Ranola supplies the comparable-sales evidence.
Most of them. PropertyShark counts 13,786 residential units in Gravesend, and 7,696 are two-to-four family and 2,352 are single-family. Source: propertyshark.com, Gravesend housing stock, Q3 2026.
Houses of one to three units are generally Class 1, so the March 15 deadline applies to the majority of Gravesend homeowners. Condos and co-ops, 1,941 and 1,736 units, are generally in Class 2 with a March 1 deadline, and an owner should confirm the class printed on the Notice of Property Value before relying on either date.
PropertyShark counts 2,704 of Gravesend’s 10,270 residential buildings, about 26%, in a flood zone and 3,797 in a hurricane evacuation zone. Of the two-to-four family buildings, 2,273 of 7,687 are in the flood zone. Source: propertyshark.com, Gravesend risk table, Q3 2026.
Flood exposure is a sale issue more than a grievance issue, because it changes insurance cost and buyer demand. A Gravesend owner who is deciding between appealing the assessment and selling should get a flood insurance quote first. Joseph Ranola prices Gravesend homes with the flood zone in the comparison set.
