Mamdani Publishes Names of Property Owners Whose Estates Will be Confiscated

The list of properties to be hit with a huge tax penalty, large enough so that the owners will mostly be forced to sell, turns out to be a bigger list than the laughing boy socialist demon had promised.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration has published a searchable database of Big Apple properties that could fall under the state's new pied-a-terre tax, effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.

The city's Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list -- which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million -- including the full names and addresses of every property owner.

"It's a reckless and foolish move, especially considering there are potentially thousands of properties on this list that do not qualify as second homes or whose owners will successfully dispute their inclusion," Council Minority Leader David Carr (R-Staten Island) -- whose own home appears on the list -- told The Post Monday.

Elderly women who had lived at their properties for decades were in the lists. Note it's supposed to be a list of basically-empty properties used as a vacation homes or, as the name of the tax puts it, pied-a-terres. But properties where the owner lives there year-round are on the lists of estates to be seized.

The move follows a widely panned X post by the mayor in which he put wealthy residents on notice to "check your mailbox when you're back in the five boroughs, because you've got mail," a warning that notification letters were on their way.

The socialist darling has long touted the policy enacted by Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats to tax second homes in the city -- though critics have warned it could cause property values to plummet.

Mamdani threatened to raise city property taxes by a staggering 9.5% in February unless he was allowed to "tax the rich" to cover a $12 billion budget gap that was later revised down to $5.4 billion.

But Democratic city Comptroller Mark Levine's office said the real figure would be closer to $340 to $380 million and could diminish over time.

Unsurprisingly, the colossal database of names and addresses included several A-list New Yorkers, including director Woody Allen, longtime Vogue editor Anna Wintour and actress Cynthia Nixon -- a loyal Mamdani supporter.

What is surprising is the document's sheer size and some of the properties included.

Citywide, The Post counted over 960,000 residences and individuals listed as potentially in line to be hit with Mamdani's pied-a-terre tax, even though just 31,000 homes were supposed to be subjected to the new levy as he and Hochul initially sold it to the public.

Many of the homes included in the database appeared to be misaligned with a tax aimed at well-heeled residents with multi-million dollar vacation homes, including some two dozen modest homes on Chaffee Avenue in working-class Throggs Neck in the Bronx.

Challenger Drive on Staten Island was another middle-class enclave with dozens of addresses appearing on Mamdani's list, though it wasn't clear that they were in fact second homes.

The average home values on Chaffee Avenue and Challenger Drive ranged from mid-$500,000s to the low $800,000s -- a far cry from the price tag of your average New York summer residence.

Weird! A socialist promised he would only seize the properties of the very wealthy turns out to want to seize the properties of the middle-class as well. I never saw that one coming.

Journalist Miranda Devine drops the hard truth this morning on FOX: Zohran Mamdani's searchable database of New Yorkers hit by his second-home tax isn't policy theater--it's a public doxxing list.

Mamdani's Dept. of Finance just published a searchable database of names and addresses for about 960,000 NYC properties tied to his new "wealth tax" on second homes -- nearly 30x the 31,000 homes it was supposed to cover. It's already drawn "dangerous precedent" criticism from business leaders and City Council members.

Addresses and names of people--as @mirandadevine
points out--whose only "crime" is owning a NYC pied-à-terre, handed to "professional squatters... or worse case, Luigi Mangione wannabes" who already romanticize violence against "capitalists."

Devine calls it out as classic Mamdani. He poses as a "principled defender of human-rights while doing his Israel and capitalist bashing, but really he is a Marxist Islamist revolutionary." He's driven by grievance and destruction and that's why 9/11 families don't want him at Ground Zero.

Watch the full 1.20 clip about why this latest Mamdani policy isn't governance but rather incitement with a government logo on it.

Hello! I'm under the weather today. I hope you're well.
