Aces19-8Zohran Mamdani spent months promising the tax would only hit rich out-of-towners. This week it landed in the mailbox of a City Council member who's lived on the Upper West Side for decades.
The Department of Finance mailed pied-à-terre tax warnings to 17,000 owners, then posted a public list of more than 900,000 properties that "may" owe it, sparking days of panic [3][8]. Mamdani and Finance Commissioner Richard Lee couldn't say Wednesday how many owners were wrongly caught up [2][10].
“You're guilty until you prove your innocence.”
“I told him if I get one of the notifications I'll throw it in his face.”

Politics | Spectrum News NY1Gabriel Nacato's uncle bought him the bike as a gift four months ago. It had double the legal power and a company that tells buyers how to unlock even more speed.
A Chevy Tahoe struck Gabriel Nacato, 17, riding an illegal 960-watt Deepower e-moto near City Hall Wednesday morning; he died at the scene, unhelmeted [21][19]. It's the third death this year tied to illegal high-speed e-mobility devices sold openly online, after Terri Valenti in October and Dmytro Stechenko in May [25]. Attorney General Letitia James will issue a consumer alert against the devices [25].
“A lot of these companies and Amazon.com stopped selling into the state of California.”
“What compounds the hurt is the fact that it was preventable.”

Streetsblog New York CityThe city gave public defense nonprofits a $32 million raise this year. It still wasn't enough to keep three organizations off the picket line.
About 300 Bronx Defenders staff walked off Monday, the third public defender union to strike this summer after Neighborhood Defender Services and a five-day Brooklyn Defender Services walkout [27]. The dispute centers on decoupling attorney and social-worker pay, cutting social workers out of a $10,000 starting raise for lawyers [27]. The strike is already delaying cases: a Bronx stabbing prosecution was adjourned to September when the defendant's public defender didn't show [14].
“It feels like management is trying to divide us, when we all deserve to be fully compensated.”
“We do not believe that should come at the expense of our social workers, who do life-saving work.”
LeBron James is heading to Philadelphia this fall, but he's reportedly plotting to live in New York City anyway and helicopter down for 76ers home games, per ESPN [125]. It's a very New York flex: the league's only playing billionaire would rather pay this city's new pied-à-terre surcharge than actually live in Philly. City & State ran the numbers on his other commute options, from Amtrak to a banana boat up the Delaware River, but the smart money is still on the chopper [125][36].
