On September 29, a Staten Island judge ruled that New York City must redo the rollout of its newly introduced pied‑à‑terre tax after a lawsuit challenged the implementation.
The lawsuit alleged that the rollout was improper and was part of a billionaire casino mogul’s effort to invalidate the tax. The city and the mayor are now required to revise the process.
The pied‑à‑terre tax, which targets secondary residences, has been the subject of legal challenges since its recent introduction.
