A New York appellate judge has allowed the city’s luxury second-home tax to continue its rollout while it faces a legal challenge, overturning a temporary restraining order issued Monday by a Staten Island judge. Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration filed a motion for appeal, triggering an automatic stay. Three city residents filed the lawsuit challenging the legality of the rollout itself, not the tax policy, highlighting the city’s distribution of a list with information on thousands of homeowners. Notices were mailed to 17,000 people on that list informing them they may be subject to the new surcharge. President Donald Trump also weighed in on Tuesday, calling for the tax to be stopped.
