David Silipigno Stood Up Against The City's
Assessment

2
David Silipigno is a reputed entrepreneur who was
recently in news for raising voice against the
overstated evaluation indicted to him by the city
for his residence at Saratoga. The City alleged
him two times the total amount of real assessment
of his 20, 800 sq ft home at 36 Stony Brook
Drive. As per the city's evaluation, David's
residence was evaluated at the value of 9.3
Million for which he had to disburse taxes on
7.6 Million.

David made his mind to stand up against the
city's evaluation and claimed that he was
actually charged with double amount. The city was
conscious of the outcomes of this case and on
account of this it did not want David to bring
this case in the front of judge and for this
reason, he had to face a lot of criticism.

With a motive to solve the case of David, the
city council voted on 20th July and chose Mayor
Scott Johnson who evaluated the residence at 4.4
million for which he had to pay taxes on 3.6
million. Later on, the city settled on less than
half of original evaluation, which was clearly
the result of the action David took against the
city. This property case not just gave justice to
Silipigno, but also encouraged others going
through similar situations to stand up against
the city.

While speaking in an interview, David Silipigno
told that the commissioner did not show any
interest in solving the case instead he was
stressing more on the required paper work. He
also stated that this was just an attempt of the
city to collect money, which was ultimately not
successful. The reports say that the city will be
paying David Silipigno the amount of 180, 000 in
credit and repayment.
