🚨Judge temporarily blocks rollout of Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax
A Staten Island judge on Monday granted a temporary restraining order against New York City’s rollout of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax, pausing enforcement while a lawsuit brought by a group of homeowners moves forward.
The lawsuit alleges that some primary residences were wrongly identified as potentially subject to the surcharge. The plaintiffs are also challenging the public release of a property roll containing names and addresses of more than 900,000 homeowners, arguing that the disclosure was unlawful.

The ruling came hours after Mamdani, at a Monday morning news conference, vowed to “vigorously defend” the city’s position in court.
