A Staten Island judge on Tuesday threw out New York City’s rollout of its new pied-à-terre tax. He ordered Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration to cancel the notices it sent to property owners and restart the process of deciding who owes the surcharge.
State Supreme Court Justice Wayne Ozzi ruled that before deciding a property is a second home subject to the tax, the city must review all the information available to it and produce the records backing its claim. He did not rule on whether the tax itself is legal.
