Board member Sonia Daley swore in the appellant and reviewed an appraisal by Michael Purcell (Dominion Group) valuing the house near $800,000. The homeowner said the house is 78 years old, with original windows, unfinished basement and non-FEMA-compliant flood exposure; she asked the board to accept the paid appraisal (which would set the assessment at 70% of that value). The board noted an apparent mix-up where the assessor’s office provided a report for 51 Dwight (a neighbor) instead of 41 Dwight and discussed comparable sales adjustments.
