NYC Pied-à-Terre Tax Halted as Judge’s Own Property Appears on Restricted Roll
Supreme Court Justice Wayne M. Ozzi and his wife were listed as owners of a $1. 1 million home on a supplemental property roll that the Staten Island judge had ordered to be withheld from public release, a development reported by amny. com that revived controversy over the city’s newly imposed non-primary residence surcharge.
The controversy stems from the judge’s earlier temporary restraining order that stopped enforcement of New York City’s pied-à-terre tax while a homeowners lawsuit proceeds. The order required the removal of the list of owners, addresses and property values and blocked further tax notices, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration said it would appeal the ruling. President Donald J. Trump later said, according to Fox Business, that his administration was reviewing whether the federal government could intervene in the city’s surcharge.
