A proposed tax on secondary homes, known as a pied-à-terre tax, will be the focus of a public hearing scheduled for Monday in Staten Island. The measure aims to address housing affordability by targeting vacant or underused properties owned by out-of-state residents. Critics argue it could unfairly burden property owners, while supporters say it will help ease the city’s housing shortage. The hearing will provide an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to voice their concerns or support for the policy.
