The UJO highlighted their years-long effort for fairer taxation of non-luxury condos and praised Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s understanding of the issue. Dean Fuleihan, Mamdani’s incoming first deputy mayor, emphasized that the mayor-elect is serious about property tax reform.
At our meetings w now-Mayor elect @ZohranKMamdani, we discussed our years-long quest for fairer taxation for area's & similarly-situated non-luxury condos. He showed a keen understanding & feeling for the issue.
We’re hopeful and grateful that finally this will be tackled. https://t.co/9KCiAcU9Jf pic.twitter.com/JZ9jF2Iphq— UJO of Williamsburg and North Brooklyn (@UnitedJewish) November 12, 2025
“This is a problem that is growing and it can’t continue to be ignored,” Fuleihan said.
For many in Williamsburg, particularly within the Hasidic community, rising property taxes have long been a far cry from the affordability that sustained the neighborhood for generations. The issue has fueled concerns among homeowners and renters alike, who have faced steadily increasing assessments on small, non-luxury condos.
The UJO expressed hope that meaningful reform for working- and middle-class condos in Williamsburg and North Brooklyn may finally be addressed under Mamdani’s incoming administration.
Come on… he is the mayor sit with him and make the best of it, u can’t do anything about it
Prior to the war, Saba Zabotinsky warned Jews (including from this sect) about the dangers of not coming to E.Y.
I pray that they will do Teshuva and come ברחמים to the Holy Land
Were they at a chasooneh?
i love how satmar does whats best for them ignoring everyone else
What are those Davy Crockets doing talking to the person who admits hating Israel, Jews and America
It was said in the past that R”l the Jews taught the Nazis how to treat the Jews.
And it’s happening again. Satmar and Neturei Karta are showing him the way; they only care for their own. But in the end to the Nazi/ Jew Haters all Jews will chas v’Sholom suffer.
Watch he converts!! Plot twist
Who will pay for the property tax reform? Unlike the feds the city must balance its budget. It’s required by law . Ask mayor lindesly
Vomit.
That’s the only way to describe this picture
It really makes me wonder
Why are these. YIDDEN. sitting down with Satan?
The sky is falling (again). But Satmar will rescue us by loving Mamzeri…
interesting they all put on their streimels as if this is a yom tov….
I am not mekabel that these are representative of satmar chassidus.
Because this is simply evil.
Which Satmar Posek allows taking photos and videos on Chol Hamoed? And during the week when not Yom Tov, video recording (phonesor cameras) and posting to internet are allowed???? This video is surely NOT according to Satmar Shitta. Don’t say it’s Satmar when it’s only some individuals acting on their own.
