A New York City judge has ruled that the city must resume its secondary-home tax program, which was paused after legal challenges, requiring property owners with additional residences to pay an extra tax. The decision comes as the city argues the tax is necessary to fund public services amid rising demand for housing. Legal disputes over the program’s implementation have delayed its full rollout, leaving property owners and officials in limbo. The city has already filed an appeal against the ruling, signaling potential further delays in the process.
