New York City’s controversial pied-à-terre tax is under fire as three homeowners sue, claiming the city wrongly forces them to prove they don’t owe the fee — a burden that violates state law. Targeting luxury properties worth millions, the tax sparked backlash after 17,000 notices were mailed in July, with appeals now extended to September 18. Critics argue the city skipped required steps like using existing records before sending out alerts, and the public-facing list of affected addresses may be misleading — though officials insist most won’t actually pay. The plaintiffs want the court to halt the process and remove the list entirely.
