Legal trouble for Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax is just beginning

Cross your fingers that a state judge’s slapdown of the pied-à-terre tax’s rollout marks the beginning of the end of the whole misbegotten tax. This week’s ruling came in a case challenging the burden the city placed on homeowners to prove they don’t owe the tax, which applies to nonresidents who own co-ops and condos valued $1 million or more or one-, two- and three-family homes worth $5 million and up. Not only did City Hall require homeowners to prove they resided in Gotham for more than half the year, it told 17,000 New Yorkers they may be liable for the tax, and posted a list of 900,000 city properties as potentially ripe for the hit, which the judge ordered removed. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks to reporters following an announcement on the construction of Box Street Park in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026. Matt Roberts/Shutterstock While the city prepares to appeal that ruling, other plaintiffs filed two more suits contesting the legality of the tax itself.

Eastview Mall lenders fight Victor eminent domain plan

No members of the public spoke during a public hearing on the Town of Victor’s eminent domain proceedings to acquire property in and around Eastview Mall on Sept. 28, but lawyers and representatives for all sides took an opportunity to make their case. The regional shopping center is facing foreclosure after failing to pay a $210 million mortgage loan, despite multiple extensions. Lenders have already filed a foreclosure action and a court-appointed receiver could take control of mall operations within days. At the same time, the town is pursuing eminent domain to acquire the affected properties, a move lawyers for the lenders and their loan servicer called “a debt evasion scheme.” The town’s attorneys and representatives for Victor 2040 LLC, the corporation formed to acquire the parcels, argued eminent domain would protect the mall’s future and keep it under local control. But the lenders argue any issues with loan servicer Rialto Capital Advisors could be resolved by paying off the mortgage loan, part of a refinancing in 2012. Written public comments on the eminent domain proposal remain open until Nov. 30. At stake is control and the future of the region’s preeminent shopping center, which supports roughly 4,000 jobs and
