MATTER OF NMPC v. TONAWANDA ASS'R

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Nov 8, 1996
233 A.D.2d 920 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

November 8, 1996.

Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs, motion granted, 1990, 1991 and 1992 appraisal reports stricken and 1990, 1991 and 1992 petitions dismissed.

Before: Present — Green, J.P., Lawton, Fallon, Callahan and Doerr, JJ.


Supreme Court erred in failing to grant the motion of respondents the Town of Tonawanda, its Board of Assessment Review and its Assessor (Town) to strike petitioner's 1990, 1991 and 1992 appraisal reports. The reports lack the requisite facts, figures and calculations by which the conclusions were reached ( see, 22 NYCRR 202.59 [g] [2]). Without the appraisal reports, petitioner failed to make out a prima facie case of over-assessment, and the court therefore should have granted the motion for summary judgment dismissing the petitions ( see, Matter of Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. v City of Dunkirk Assessor, 221 AD2d 913, appeal dismissed 87 NY2d 1054, lv denied 88 NY2d 803; Matter of 50540 Realty v Tax Commn., 136 AD2d 699, 700).

Petitioner failed to appeal from that part of the order denying its motion to amend or supplement its appraisal report, and thus the propriety of that denial is not before us ( see, Hecht v City of New York, 60 NY2d 57, 61). (Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Erie County, Glownia, J. — Tax Certiorari.)
