Tribeca has some of the highest real estate taxes in the city, because of the way they are determined through the use of “comps.“ Because there are no rent controlled or rent stabilized buildings to use, we are compared with other luxury buildings, so our rate is higher than that on Park Avenue. Long-standing issues with how private homes in the boroughs are assessed further complicates things - and raises our rates. The politics of that issue means that it will never change. — A. on A Uno will move after 20 years on Duane

The access is not "suspected." It is fact. "And, indeed, the Department of Buildings also says there will be 'interior access to the adjacent 155 Franklin,' where Swift owns the penthouse and a second-floor apartment."

$1500 — Tribeca Citizen on A Uno will move after 20 years on Duane

She doesn't own the whole building (155)..She owns the townhouse at 153..the two PH at 155 (one for her and one for the live in bodyguards) - She bought the 2nd Floor as well because people suspect she's been able to use it to directly access the townhouse. Yes, it's been a nightmare for the residents. Soderbergh & Orlando Bloom were smart to have sold their apts shortly after she bought. — AndyFidi on In the News: Another arrest at Taylor’s house

rent out of whack — perry Rothenberg on A Uno will move after 20 years on Duane

It would be interesting to learn what portion of the rent is RE taxes. The building is a coop, so the portion that she pays may not be available, but if you own in Tribeca you know that RE taxes have skyrocketed. Someone has to pay, and stores pay a share of those taxes. We need services, where does the money come for those services. It is a shame that these wonderful neighbors/stores bear such a heavy burden. — G on A Uno will move after 20 years on Duane

I will follow Ann, Ruthy, Olga to the Village. Not only has A Uno been my favorite boutique for 20 years, these folks have become my friends. I will miss passing by and waving but will be seeing them uptown. The rents in our neighborhood need to moderate...we're losing the best of the best every day. — Susan Duffy on A Uno will move after 20 years on Duane
