A Brooklyn appellate court on Thursday temporarily lifted a restraining order blocking New York City from implementing its new pied-à-terre tax, allowing the city to continue rolling it out while a lawsuit proceeds. The tax would impose an annual surcharge on owners of second homes in NYC valued above $5 million. Homeowners challenging the measure allege the city mistakenly included full-time residents on a list of 900,000 people potentially subject to the tax and sent warning letters to thousands of others who live in their homes full-time.
