A New York State Supreme Court judge in Staten Island, Wayne Ozzi, ordered the administration of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to scrap its current rollout of the pied-à-terre tax, a luxury surcharge aimed at second homes valued at $5 million or more.

The judge ruled that the city mishandled the implementation of the tax, creating mass confusion and improperly burdening homeowners by flagging thousands of primary residences as secondary homes due to widespread vetting and procedural errors. The court ordered officials to cancel 17,000 notices sent to property owners, remove a supplemental roll of over 900,000 properties, and restart the vetting process completely before attempting to enforce the surcharge again.
