Since 1979, Jack Jaffa & Associates’ distinguished team of seasoned professionals (formerly known as Ben Rottenstein & Associates) has been enabling New York City developers to maximize tax incentive values for virtually every type of new construction, preservation or major capital improvement project, from luxurious high-rise condominiums to affordable housing projects, from commercial and manufacturing facilities to single family residences.
Over the course of three decades, owners of NYC properties have saved hundreds of millions of dollars by utilizing our team’s tax consulting services to maximize their 421-A, J-51, ICIP/ICAP, and MCI incentives.
As a result of many years of experience in this field, we’ve solidified our leadership position due to our diligent collaborative relations with HPD, DHCR and the Department of Finance. Identifying, analyzing, facilitating and securing benefits available through these agencies have become our forte, thus allowing us to specialize in a portfolio of government incentive program offers such as:
421-A
Partial Real Estate Tax Exemption Benefits Program which benefits
primarily newly constructed buildings containing four or more
dwelling units.
J-51
Tax Exemption Benefits Program which provides tax advantages for
rehabilitating or performing major capital improvements in residential
properties or provides benefits for properties converting from
commercial to residential status.
ICIP/ICAP
Industrial and Commercial Incentives /Abatement Program which
benefits newly constructed or modernized commercial or industrial
properties. It is absolutely vital that applications for such programs be
filed prior to obtaining any permits.
MCI
Major Capital Improvement Rent Increase Program which allows land-
lords to recoup the cost of building-wide capital improvement
expenditures.
