Mamdani Administration Begins Notifying Property Owners About New Non-Primary Residence Tax

- Finance Commissioner Richard Lee said the department is implementing the surcharge "fairly and efficiently," while officials added 24 new jobs to manage the process and handle appeals through an online portal.
