New York City homeowners have sued Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the city’s finance director over the rollout of a new pied-à-terre tax, according to CNN.

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 city says only about 17,000 property owners received notices indicating they could face the tax. Mamdani defended the measure, saying it would help fund schools and safer streets.

The surcharge applies to qualifying non-primary residences, including properties valued above $5 million and certain co-ops valued at $1 million or more.

The plaintiffs are seeking removal of the public list, suspension of homeowner response requirements and a halt to enforcement while the case proceeds. A judge is expected to hear arguments on a temporary restraining order.
