NY’s pied-à-terre tax could leave entire co-ops on hook for massive bills: ‘Whole building suffers’

New York’s newly enacted pied-à-terre tax could leave entire co-op buildings on the hook for hefty tax bills if a wealthy second-home owner refuses to pay — sparking alarm among real estate brokers and co-op advocates who warn the measure was drafted without accounting for how co-ops actually operate. “It’s not the shareholder that suffers the consequences, it’s the entire building that suffers the consequences,” Jason Haber, co-founder of the American Real Estate Association and a Compass broker, told The Post. The tax spearheaded by Gov. Kathy Hochul and touted by Mayor Zohran Mamdani was signed into law as part of the state budget last month. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax into law as part of the state budget, targeting luxury second homes.

Attorney General James Files First Lawsuits Under Rent Stabilization Compliance Program

New York Attorney General Letitia James today filed the first lawsuits against two New York City landlords as part of her office’s compliance program focused on enforcing “de facto” rent stabilization in buildings throughout New York City. Following the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, de facto rent stabilization was created as a judicial doctrine to allow buildings with five or fewer units built before 1974 to become rent stabilized if the building was altered – legally or illegally – to have six or more units. Since its launch in May 2025, the Office of the Attorney General’s (OAG) de facto rent stabilization compliance program has successfully prevented 26 evictions and secured the return of 91 units to rent stabilization.

Hochul’s pied-à-terre tax will hurt regular folks, retirees because of property-value fallout: critics

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed pied-à-terre tax on pricey second homes won’t just soak the jet-setting super rich — it also will nail hard-working families and retirees who live in the same buildings, critics charge. Managers at the landmark luxury Manhattan House Condominium at 200 E. 66th St. recently fired off a letter to state Sen. Liz Krueger and other pols griping about the plan — which Democratic Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani wholeheartedly backs . Critics warn Gov. Kathy Hochul’s pied-à-terre tax will hit regular families and retirees, not just the super-rich. Lone Pine Press for NY Post The building overseers warned that the planned surtax on second homes worth more than $5 million in the city could impact the property values of every owner who lives in the same co-op and condo building because it makes the sites unattractive for future buyers. That decreases everyone’s property values, the opponents said. “Based on publicly available market data, Manhattan House represents well over $1 billion in residential property value. That value is not held only by absentee investors or speculative buyers. It is held by residents, families, retirees, long-time New Yorkers, and owners who rely on the stability and liquidity of the
