Judge temporarily blocks rollout of Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax
The homeowners say the city sent notices to about 17,000 properties before making the required primary-residence determination under state law.
- A New York judge issued a temporary restraining order against Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax, halting enforcement actions and requiring the city to follow individualized review procedures under state tax law.
- Homeowners sued, claiming the city wrongly labeled primary residences as subject to the tax and unfairly shifted the burden onto them to prove exemptions; the judge found the city responsible for initial determinations and that notices caused irreparable harm.
- The judge ordered the city to remove a published property roll of over 900,000 homeowners, blocking further mailings and enforcement based on that list.
- Mayor Mamdani defended the tax as a fair contribution from owners of luxury second homes, while the city plans to appeal and continue legal battles.
