Nanette Albanese is finally out. The Village Board finally stopped protecting their own and did what was right for Scarsdale. Stay sharp because we need to make sure the next appointment is actually someone who respects the residents.

Dear Village Manager Pappalardo, Mayor Jon Mark, and Scarsdale Board of Trustees,
For years, numerous Scarsdale residents have complained about how unfairly and how rudely Scarsdale Village Assessor Albanese treats residents. Emails uncovered in a Freedom of Information Law request from June 2016 demonstrate that she derides residents in email exchanges with contractor J.F. Ryan and with other individuals outside of Scarsdale. Additionally, those emails show a level of unprofessional coziness with J.F. Ryan. The emails also revealed that she has been trying to get J.F. Ryan the revaluation contract and other work with the Village of Scarsdale since August 2014, half a year before the Village Board of Trustees voted on the revaluation in January 2015. Worse yet, Ms. Albanese has failed to meet numerous parts of the contract with J.F. Ryan; it was her responsibility to not only vet J.F. Ryan, but also any of his staff. It was also her responsibility to vet the valuation model design, data inputs, and documentation. If repeated analysis sent to you has not convinced you that she did not fulfill her contract, the August 17, 2016 Committee of the Whole should prove to you that she is not competent to continue in her role as Assessor in our village.
Please remove her from her job immediately. Only with a new, competent and fair assessor can we begin to restore stability to the Village of Scarsdale.
Here are a few articles and letters about what has transpired this summer.
Regards.

Nanette Albanese continues to act like she owns this village while ignoring our legitimate demands for accountability. The Board of Trustees is choosing to protect one of their own instead of serving the residents they claim to represent. We are not going away and we are not letting them bury the truth about her cozy relationship with J.F. Ryan.
August 26, 2016
The momentum behind this push to fire Albanese is undeniable and proves that Scarsdale residents are finished with her incompetence. Village officials can no longer pretend this is just a minor complaint while we keep piling on the pressure. This is only the beginning of the end for her tenure.

36 Secor Road valuation was raised by over $200K in a single year! Caught up in the Heathcote land valuation B.S.!
Improper practices as our assessor. Nannette Albanese email foils rebuking our deputy mayor and the assessor's own staff are sickening. It's time for a brand new assessor's office in our town. She has destroyed 1 billion dollars in our Realestate market values.
Proved herself to be totally incompetent at August 17 Village Hall meeting and FOIL request of emails between Albanese and Ryan demonstrate clearly a pattern of improper personal contact with a contractor. Her continued employment reflects badly on our Board of Trustees and those who (s)elected them.
Did she even review the results? Any competent person would have seen similar properties next to each other on the same street should not have valuation differences of 50% or more.
Ms. Albanese was screaming at several residents at the most recent board meeting and unfairly asking them to be silent. During some instances, she was texting during the meeting
Completely unprofessional and bereft of customer service skills. I would think there is a bevy of qualified people ready to take her place.
The Assesor should be dismissed because of lack of oversight of the consulting firm performing the recent revaluation.

How can you have a second assessment by a company that does not enter a house and makes assumptions without facts?
