Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been aggressively pushing his pied-à-terre tax on what he calls wealthy homeowners, but now a judge has stomped the brakes on that deal, at least temporarily. The temporary hold is the result of a lawsuit filed by homeowners (and taxpayers) against the city on precisely this issue. New York homeowners fighting the controversial pied-à-terre tax were handed an early win Monday, when a judge temporarily blocked Mayor Zohran Mamdani from implementing the new surcharge. A trio of Big Apple homeowners has filed suit to delay the state’s controversial new tax on luxury second homes — claiming Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration bungled the rollout and unfairly put the burden on homeowners. Editor’s Note: New York City is now facing the consequences of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist takeover.
