"(In the 2016 election I noted that Avedisians house went DOWN in assessed value by the same amount as my house went UP.)"

The statement was proven false in 2016 and it is still false today. Please see the link below:

"What’s the story on Corrente’s property assessments?

Corrente’s property in Potowomut is .14 acres of undeveloped land, assessed this year at $8,700. It had been previously assessed at $3,700, which Corrente claims in his Beacon letter to the editor to be “triple.”

Math proves that false: $3,700 times 3 is $11,100, while $8,700 is 2.35 times more than $3,700, so he’s off by 65%.

Corrente also mentions another property he owns at 1115 Greenwich Ave. [not his residence] that is now listed as a five-family instead of the previous four-family designation, and again alleges shady dealings by Avedisian.

What Corrente doesn’t mention is that the assessment on that property went down — from $280,400 to $275,400, essentially washing out the increase on his other property.

The subtotal so far is no net property tax increase for Richard Corrente, as he had one property go up $5,000 and the other go down $5,000 in value.

Also, as pointed out by astute internet commenter CrickeeRaven on the Beacon’s comment board here, Corrente doesn’t actually own the property he calls home — that property, at 177 Grand View Drive, is currently owned by Red Stick Acquisitions of Baton Rouge, La."
