New York Daily News - Home - Dead end for rebates
Property tax rebates for dead people--I guess NYC doesn't need the money.
The city is sending some $400 property tax rebates to people who can't use them: dead homeowners.
In a snafu of killer proportions, city officials conceded yesterday that a small percentage of the 581,000 rebate checks recently mailed out were mistakenly addressed to the dearly departed.

That became clear recently to Giro Nazzaro, 70, of Morris Park in the Bronx, who received a $400 check on Oct. 26 - addressed to Katherine Boggia, the woman he bought his Sacket Ave. house from 23 years ago. Records show Boggia died in 1985 at the age of 78.
