The Mamdani-Hochul pied-à-terre tax is based on a fatal flaw

The unfolding court drama over New York City’s pied-à-terre tax isn’t just about billionaires. It’s about fundamental rights of all Americans. New York’s Democratic Party is trashing those rights and violating the legal principles that underpin America’s successful economy in order to finance their socialist spending spree. Between elections, we must go to court in defense of these rights and fight hard. Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Kathy Hochul and Kamar H. Samuels attend an event to bring NYC Public Schools procurement into the 21st century in New York, Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026. Camara Porter/AdMedia/MediaPunch/Shutterstock On Tuesday, New York State Supreme Court Judge Wayne Ozzi ruled that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s rollout of the pied-à-terre tax deprived homeowners of their due process rights. The city had notified some 17,000 house- and apartment-owners that they owed the tax and had a mere 30 days to prove otherwise — or be hit with hefty penalties. It was flipping the burden of proof onto homeowners to show their property is their primary residence and exempt from the tax. Yikes! Guilty until proven innocent. Legal trouble for Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax is just beginning Ozzi ordered the city to redo the rollout, this time honoring property owners’ due-process

Apple picking in NY: 4 orchards worth the fall trip

New York is the second-largest apple-producing state in the nation, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with tens of thousands of acres devoted to apple production across the Empire State. New York produces millions of bushels of apples annually, and many orchards offer visitors the chance to buy pre-picked apples or pick their own straight from the tree. Some orchards offer more than a traditional U-pick experience to attract visitors, with family-friendly activities including wagon rides, yard games, playgrounds, fresh-baked goods and other social media-worthy fall treats. Here are four favorite apple-picking spots across New York, all of which offer additional activities: Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards This family-owned and operated orchard in Lafayette, Onondaga County, has repeatedly been selected by USA TODAY readers as the top orchard in the nation, most recently topping the list in 2024. The orchard also operates a distillery, tasting room and tavern, bakery, general store and kids' area with a variety of activities. It regularly hosts concerts as part of its popular summer concert series at the 1911 Tasting Room. Beak & Skiff is open daily. Pick-your-own requires a wagon ride to the orchard, which runs daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Cool mornings have arrived, and the garden is starting to feel the shift. Leaves droop earlier, the light turns golden, and summer crops are running out of time.

Attorney at Law: Handling estate debt responsibilities in New York

It is a common misconception to assume that your debts do not follow you when you pass away. When a person dies with outstanding liabilities, his debts are typically owed by, and paid out of, his estate. In practice, this means that the estate’s executor or administrator is responsible for determining all valid debts, and ensuring that they are paid from the assets or property left in the estate.

Attorney General James Warns New Yorkers About Price Gouging During Severe Coastal Storm

New York Attorney General Letitia James today issued a consumer alert warning New York consumers and businesses of price gouging during a storm expected to bring heavy wind and rain, as well as potential flooding, to New York this weekend. Governor Hochul has declared a state of emergency in New York City and Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties in advance of the storm. New York’s price gouging law prevents businesses from taking advantage of consumers by selling essential goods or services at an excessively higher price during market disruptions or emergencies. Attorney General James is urging New Yorkers who see higher prices on essential goods and services to file complaints with the Office of the Attorney General (OAG).

A Real Estate Gala’s Toast to Resilience, Backed by the State Comptroller’s Own Numbers

Commercial Observer held its 19th annual Power Gala on September 22 at 7 World Trade Center, in partnership with Silverstein Properties, explicitly framed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11. CO Editor-in-Chief Max Gross noted that one of the publication's first galas held after the pandemic had also taken place at the same building, framing the venue's recurring role directly: "I think most of the people here tonight understand that whatever bad things come our way, and many have, and there will be other bad things in the future, the answer is to roll up our sleeves and get to work." The evening's top honor, Investment Deal of the Year, went to Naftali Group's Miki Naftali for the firm's $810 million acquisition of 800 Fifth Avenue in 2025, a deal presented as "a decisive bet among the most irreplaceable locations" made "at a time when investors are navigating higher costs of capital and shifting valuations in a rapidly changing market." Lisa Silverstein, CEO and vice chairman of Silverstein Properties, received the Executive Leadership Award.

B3 Beverage & Bald Birds Sued in New York Amid Deepening Financial Strain

When B3 Beverage set out to reshape regional craft brewing, its ambition was backed by heavy hitters.
