A trio of Big Apple homeowners have filed suit to delay the state\u2019s controversial new tax on luxury second homes \u2014 claiming Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s administration bungled the rollout.<\/p>\n

The group of disgruntled owners charge City Hall is unfairly burdening them to prove they are full-time New Yorkers, and as such, not subject to the pied-\u00e0-terre tax, according to the suit filed Friday in Staten Island Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

The city Department of Finance \u201chas arbitrarily and capriciously foisted onto New York City residents the burden of proving they are not subject to the Surcharge,\u201d the filing states.<\/p>\n

It specifically calls out the DOF\u2019s move to publish a tax roll of nearly 1 million properties that may be subject to the new surcharge and the 17,000 notices it mailed to homeowners warning them they would be hit with five-figure bills unless they filed for an exemption.<\/p>\n

The city ignored its statutory obligation to do its homework first \u201cto diligently assess and determine, using the vast resources at its disposal, the properties that are actually subject to the Surcharge,\u201d the suit charges.<\/p>\n

While the suit doesn\u2019t challenge the law itself, it demands that a judge declare the city\u2019s actions illegal and immediately scrub the 900,000-name list from the DOF website.<\/p>\n

It also requests an emergency injunction to void the 17,000 mailed notices and relieve homeowners from having to respond. The Mamdani administration last weekend extended the deadline to file for an exemption to Sept. 18, from the end of August.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs are represented by attorney Randy Mastro, who served as first deputy mayor under Mamdani\u2019s predecessor Eric Adams.<\/p>\n
