Mamdani luxury-home tax halted by court ruling
A New York judge temporarily blocked Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s rollout of a new pied-à-terre tax, which targets second homes valued over $5 million. The court order prevented the city from using a disputed property roll that exposed the names, addresses, and values of over 900,000 homeowners, citing concerns over procedural errors and potential harm to residents. The lawsuit, filed by homeowners, argues the city improperly identified primary residences without proper determinations and released sensitive homeowner information, leading to public backlash. The city plans to appeal the ruling while continuing efforts to implement the tax.
