Summary
A New Jersey investor wants a property tax break to rehab a 1910 historic five-bedroom house into a $3,500-$4,000/month rental. Members questioned whether that rent is realistic, asked about the odd rear staircase, property taxes (~$4,000/year), and urged baseline ADA accessibility in the rehab.

Impact analysis
Property tax abatement under the NEZ program on a property with ~$4,000/year baseline taxes; $175,000-$200,000 private rehab investment.
The investor/rehabber through reduced taxes; potentially a future tenant of a restored historic home.
Critically, residents skeptical of tax abatements for out-of-state investors; renters needing accessible housing since no baseline ADA features are planned.
