Berdon, LLP announces NY real estate tax - RPIE penalties could pop up after a purchase
According to Berdon, LLP, starting late in 2012, owners of income producing properties in N.Y.C. who failed to file or filed late Real Property Income & Expense (RPIE) forms began being charged with penalties, triggering a potential trap for purchasers. The penalties, as high as 3% to 5% of the property's assessed value, are issued by the city's Department of Finance and may have a considerable lag time. For example: according to a source, penalties for 2010 were billed in the tax records nearly 2 years later.
If a penalty has a comparable lag in getting entered into the tax records, an unwary purchaser of a property may be in for an unexpected surprise. In this environment, ahead of any closing, confirm that the seller has filed all RPIE forms.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian
There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
