I believe that the assessment is incorrect for the following reasons:
The assessor claims that all assessments are detemlined using online database. This data base is NOT up
to date or accurate.
My assessment was agreed to after a settlement was entered into by myself, the current assessor and
documented by RPTL 730 Hearing Officer Paul J. Kutscera, Esq. This was documented and reflected a
100% property value as of October 17, 2007.
This agreement was due to the fact that the on line database information and assessors yellow card were
incorrect. This was identified to the assessor (via the assessor's aide Loretta Brunello) prior to the closing
of the tax roll on may 2007.
The data base was not updated when Assessor's office was notified.
The yellow cards were corrected but are NOT reflected in the on line data base used by the assessor.
When the assessor's aide was again informed that the data was not updated in 2 years, I was told to wait
until after 5/1/2007 because assessor was working on updating assessments.
After the closing date the assessors aide was again informed (approximately 5/17) and still the data was
not updated. It took my going to the Supervisor of the Town ofWappingers and his intervention with the
Dutchess County office to have the data base accurately reflect my property. When 2 foils were
submitted, my understanding was that I would either get the information or at least be told when I would
get the information. As of today 5/27, I have heard nothing back from the Town Assessor's Office and
had to ask the Town Clerk to Intervene and find out if and when the requested data would be received.
The data base used to determine assessments appears to be grossly incorrect. This may in turn be a reason
to file a class action on behalf of the home owners whose data is in this data base.
Some gross examples noted are:
· F AlLURE TO TIMELY UPDATE DATABASE - There could not be found any document stating
what the requirement is / was to update data base after corrections or changes are found or made.
· F AlLURE TO CONFIRM ACCURACY or DATABASE - I looked at 3 identical homes on Liss
Road (adjacent to each other) and the SFLA 1006 to 1452. The home with HIGHEST SFLA and
larger lot (13 Liss) is assessed the lowes! (267.6K) and the one with lowest SFLA and smaller lot (15
Liss). All lots are on the lake ar~d
· F AlLURE TO ESTABLISH FAIR or CONSISn:;;NT SFLA V ALVES There are only 2 styles of
homes and yet the SFLA varies by almost 50%. One home (25 Liss) claims only 993 SFLA. This 50%
variation is for same 7 rooms of SFLA.
· F AlLURE TO ESTABLISH FAIR or COI\iSlSTENT LAND VALUES - In my same area the land.
values fluctuate widely for vel)' sinular land. La.1ger lots on lake are assessed the same as my lot that
is directly across from commercial properly and continues to have tractor trailers entering & leaving
the commercial property drive onto lawn area. 1'v'1y lot is also joined on one side by a gas station &
drive way. With all these negatives the assessor sees fit to assess our lot, basically the same, as ifI
was on the lake. Documentation can be provided, if needed, including pictures & police reports to
Village ofWappingers Falls. E).amples include:
· Other lots on the lake (including Village & personal property) a.re assessed lower than our lot.
Using a ''rl.ormalized value of J90K / 2lU~; our lot (.53 A) is assessed at IOIK. The lot the
viHlage owns 5.8 a.cre~ on hike is ~IS~eSSIf,{t m: 42K per acre. 55 N Mesier, also on the lake &

next to the park) is appraised at 125K for .83 A (nonnalized = 104K / Acre). Many more such
examples exist in database.
· THERE APPEARS TO BE INCONSISTENCY IN COMPARABLE HOMES BEING ASSESSED
DIFFERENTLY: Examples are:
. 7 Brookside built] 954 with] 849 SFLA includes 5 Bedrooms + 2 Full baths on .53 Acres is
assessed at 293K (lOlK land). We have same size lot (also assessed at101K but only 3 Bedrooms
(less than 100 SF office on BR #3) and only] Full & ] 1/2 Bath yet we are assessed at 31 OK.
· 5 Walnut Drive built the land; the house has 4. full bedrooms, 2 full baths and they are assessed at
173,000 ($107 / SFLA) we are assessed at over $121/ SFLA and have (1 full bath & 1 1/2 Bath)
. Other discrepancies exist with relationship to our assessment. The following examples and others
(if required) are all in the $100/ SFLA range yet we are at over $121/ SFLA THIS IS A 20%
DIFFERENCE. Examples include 49 High Street with 1754 SFLA and 3 Full baths + 5
Bedrooms They are assessed at $303100. Also 11 Remsen has 1802 SFLA and home is assessed at
$J 82400 (excl udes land) or $101/ SFLA.
. THERE APPEARS TO BE INCONSISTENCY IN HOW ASSESSOR PROGRAM REDUCES
HOMES THAT SOLD FOR MORE THAN THEIR CURRENT ASSESSMENT AND YET FAILS
TO RECOGNIZE THAT HOME PRICES HAVE DROPPED SINCE 2006. The real question is not if
the price dropped, but by how much. Examples include:
. The assessor has reduced, and was informed, that 2 Liss road was sold in 2/2006 for.3251(, the
home was completely redone including 2 Full baths and basement; yet the assessor saw fit to
reduce the assessment to 285K and he has again reduced it to $281,600.
. 40 N Mesier sold in 2005 for 344,000 they have 1819 SFLA 2 Full baths on same size lot and
assessorhas them assessed now at 310,800 (reduction of 10% - while we are asking For a
moderate 5 - 6 %.
. 62 S Mesier sold for 306,500 in 2006. The assessor has them now at 287,100. A reduction of 6%
or over $19,000.
. 5 Prospect sold for 312,00 in 2006. It has 2232 SFLA with and the assessor has dropped the
assessment almost 20,000 to 292,050.
. 7 Liss was put on the market after the death of the owner and stayed unsold for a year. The price
was continually reduced until it sold in 2008 for 239,475. This home was/is assessed at 276,200.
This shows that the fair market value 239K dropped by 13% over last 2 years. We are asking for a
5-6% reduction.
· More examples can be provided ifneeded.
We believe part of the error in our assessment is due to the fact that our data in the data base was never
updated. It took escalation beyond the assessors office (after the assessor personally told me that the
records were correct and showed inetheiryeUowcardto prove it); to the supervisor and Dutchess county.
The DC person said Wappingers owns the integrity of the data in the data base maintained by
Dutchess.
If you reduce the SFLA in the database and apply the same value for SFLA and Land you arrive at .
$294,600. The assessor claims to have rerun my aSsessment after we spoke (after 5/1/2008) and again
after the database error was brought to their attention. Each time including before and after the database
was updated, with Supervisor & DC peoples help; the assessor claims that $310 is our calculated
assessment.
I find it difficult for the value of an asSessment to stay the same when you back out 20% SFLA. (360
SFLA error versus 1724 SFLA it should be). We ask the reviewers to reduce the assessment to $294,600.

It has come to my attention that a member of the town assessors office put in a
frivolous, fraudulent and m31licious complaint to the village code enforcement office.
This was immediately after "her" errors were reported to the supervisor and town
assessor. The claim was that I had" living quarters above the garage".
This person has been identified and is Ilrnown to myself and at least three village
officers, including 2 trustees, and a Code Enforcement Officer members of the Village
of Wappingers Falls. This is in addition !to person who received the false and
malicious complaint and a 2ndllCode enforcement officer.
Additional action will be fortthcoming including reporting to appropriate Town &
Village authorities &/or legal action.

This is a brief summary of the facts as I see them tracing this problem back before 2007 assessment.
.
The Town of Wappingers Assessor's Office has routinel)', habituall)' and wontedl)' failed to ulldatc the
online data basc (dB) for our propert)'.
The assessor claims that all assessments are detcrmined using this online dB. This dB is NOT up to date
or accuratc and at least in our opinion, wc believe deliberately not updated.
This dB (GEOACCESS.CO.DUTCHESS.NY.US/PARCELACCESS) is used by Town assessor to
determine a~sessment values of properties. Dutchess County owns the dB; BUT Town assessor is
responsible for validity and accuracy of thil; data afld is required to update the records in a timelv
fashion. (FOILS).
In 2007, the error was identifiec to Asse~sor (by H.lJ 524), Assessor continued to claim that dB showed
our home to be substantiall)' higher than our claims. Checking the Town Records, it was found the paper
records were incorrect. Since assessment was "closed" a RPTL-730 was pursued. The finding was that
the SfF used b)' assessor was incorrect and relief was granted and the assessment for 2007 was rolled
back to $310,000. (documented by lRPTL 730 Hearing Officer Paul J. Kutscera, Esq. This document
reflected a 100% propert)' value as of October 17,. 2007).
Propert)' values havc continued to fall locally & nationwide; and prior to any action in 2009; I asked for
a property reduction of 6%, which was substaIlltialiJ les!: than the National or County or Wappingers
decrease in average home price!i (as per Trulia Real Estate Search). The assessor again c1.aimed that dB
showed that property was above assessment (his chum $330,000 range).
The 2009 RP 524 was comllleted" H reiterated the problems and gave required number of comparables +
additional evidence that Ar;sessor hac decreased aflse~sments even below selling prices (multiple times on
property noted).
A review of the paperwork in th(~ Town Asr;eswr',; Dffice (FOIL) showed that their,in office paperwork
('yellowcarc1) was updated; BUT a R~view of the online dB (used for assessme~ts) showed that online dB
data was NEVER UPDA 'fED; even :Jfter error wm: indicated to Town Assessor's Office multiple times in
person + in 2007 RP 524, 2007 F:PTt,-730 & R!'TL decision October 2007).
Escalation to Town Supervisor OV1ay 15, 2:0iLI9) Jr?HaJ: to my obtaining a copy of my data ("yellow card")
and with the supervisor's help (ne contacted the Dutchess County dB person) the problem was corrected
within hours.
Even after the correction (201l;;> redurtion in S/F), the Town Assessor still claims that property is under
assessed (still $330 range). Thi~ ll~ !;IDlle value: he cbimed at 20% higher S/F + property assessment claims
Oarger properties on tine lake are 21PiPraised / aSflfS!lcd less than my property. After normalization,
examples of <commercial pro~leny wrre gi"ClIl where tbey are appraised I assessed less than my property.
My propert)'is bounder by ovmmerdal pror-'Ic.'iy.
On May 18th 2009, between thf:dmf, of the i1Ih1r, ufJd' 524 and escalation to supervisor (May 15th,
20(9) and the RP 524 hearing; 2 p1.'J:gln W(~1cJd:"JLiLtlle TQwn Assessor's office, did malil!l1antlv

The person filing the report wm:.idcntificd to nne, perrlonaHy, b)' several village officials when I asked
them to immediately investigate this false repo!rt This person did knowingly and fakely claim that
"there is living quarters aboye the ganq~e" 0[1 m.y j;)"op>erty.
Even after the town supervisor & assessor where made aware of this and the additional fact that this
person is/was the Ollle who is/war re~[Oonsib\e ff'i" Lpdating the dB for the last 3+ years; no one from the
town has seen fit to apologize or correet the ermn; ,Si/Hll' actions of the assessor's office. I was asked to
request a formal ethic1: hear~ng b'l>>t after he:lring nuthinr, for months & following up on why I did not get
my RP-525 by end of June; I WZ,E to,o RP'-::ZS \'ia~ Stl1t (I requested & obtained a copy) and that ethics
hearing was not correct W2J:\'. Afkrnatiive ~'ias ~;ht;{li and will be pursued after tbis is resolved.
Instead the assesson; office claiHl:' that "tht !)nltlJi' of \'aJILBc presented was insuffucuent" and the
assessment claimed by assess on otIke is withIn 1 (if, of what he claimed it was for the last 3 years when
the S/F was incorrect (high-e1' b'i 2fl'(~;;+), and Wll>i~r, llOu~ing prices were substantial!)' higher he conceded
