NYC publishes names and addresses of pied-à-terre tax targets, exposing wealthy absentee owners

New York City's Department of Finance sent notification letters on 24 July 2026 to owners of luxury homes subject to the new pied-à-terre tax — a levy on part-time residences kept vacant. The New York Post reported on 29 July that the administration published the names and addresses of affected owners. ARTnews linked several to art-world figures. Comptroller Mark Levine's April report flagged unresolved enforcement and revenue questions.
