Episode Details

New York City’s new pied-à-terre tax is sparking chaos — wealthy homeowners are getting slapped with bills even when their NYC property is their primary residence, and the city’s rollout has been so messy it’s triggering lawsuits, protests, and calls for a pause. The mayor skipped the hearing, citing legal battles, while Council Speaker Juliana Menin slammed the move — saying administrations should testify even amid litigation. Over 17,000 letters were sent, and more than 900,000 addresses were published — many of which shouldn’t be taxed at all. The Real Estate Board is demanding a halt, warning the city can’t enforce this fairly without fixing its system. And if you’re affected? The deadline to apply for an exemption? September 18th.
