Garbage Fees in Albany, NY

Desiny Smith
  • Glens Falls, NY
Posted
I work at the Mayor’s office in Albany, NY and was talking to an officer who owns several properties in the city. I mentioned that my goal was to purchase a four unit; live in one while I rented the other three out while studying for my graduate degree. His advice was to go with three units because I’d have to pay more in garbage fees for a four unit, but if I bought a three unit and rented the other two out, I would only be responsible for the garbage fees in the two rented units and the fee would be less than if I were to have a four unit. Does anyone have experience dealing with Albany and the garbage fees? Are there any other miscellaneous fees that I should be aware of before investing in Albany?
