Article 78 petition against Saratoga Springs' mansion assessment
A public records expert, hired by the owner of Saratoga Springs’ largest home, filed a lawsuit against the city for not providing him with requested records concerning the mansion’s assessment. The mansion owner’s lawyer, Mark Glaser, requested information about the assessment of the home, filing a Freedom of Information Law request to find out how much the city spent to assess the property. While the city provided access to some records, they were not complete and did not answer Glaser’s question. The city’s attorney feels that the Article 78 appeal is being filed in order to “harass the accounts office”.
