New York City homeowners challenge Mamdani’s new pied-à-terre tax, seek September deadline halt
The legal challenge does not seek to overturn the tax itself. Instead, it targets the city’s assessment roll and notices sent to property owners who may be liable for the surcharge.
A group of New York City homeowners is challenging Mayor Zohran Mamdani's new pied-à-terre tax, seeking to halt the September deadline for responding to the city's assessments. The suit, filed by prominent litigator Randy Mastro, claims that the city has burdened residents with the task of proving they are not subject to the tax, rather than identifying which properties actually qualify.
The lawsuit specifically targets the city's assessment roll and notices sent to property owners, as the city's publication of an extensive list of potentially affected properties has caused "mass confusion" and exposed homeowners to unwarranted scrutiny of their personal information. The city has since extended the exemption deadline to September 18 and will expand efforts to provide information to owners of more than 31,000 potentially liable properties.
