  "account": "New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax was temporarily halted by a judge on Monday. The order was issued following homeowners' legal action against the city. The tax aims to target non-primary homes valued above $5 million. The Staten Island judge granted a temporary restraining order, preventing the city from enforcing the tax. The tax was intended to be applied after a property roll was published, which homeowners argued caused significant confusion and exposed personal details. The lawsuit was filed after the tax's implementation, leading to the current temporary block.",
