A Staten Island jurist has issued a temporary restraining order that suspends enforcement of New York City’s pied-à-terre tax, offering relief to property owners challenging the levy in court. The judicial action freezes the tax’s implementation as litigation brought by homeowners proceeds through the legal system.

The restraining order protects defendants from the tax while their case against the city progresses. The measure allows the lawsuit to move forward without the financial burden of the contested tax taking effect during the proceedings.
