Team Mamdani’s Pied-à-Terre No-Show Has Lawmakers Fuming

Lawmakers criticized the Mamdani administration for missing a key hearing regarding the rollout of the new pied-à-terre tax. Simultaneously, the number of households admitting they were wrongfully targeted by the surcharge grew by 21%, prompting owners to file lawsuits alleging procedural failures. The City Council also expressed concern that thousands of New Yorkers were required to prove residency when officials claimed the city already had existing data.
