NYC homeowners sued the city in August, calling the tax rollout confusing and a privacy violation. A Staten Island judge said a list of hundreds of thousands of properties in the city must be taken down. New York City's pied-à-terre tax on luxury second homes has hit a roadblock over the publication of a list of hundreds of thousands of residences in the city.
