New York City’s democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani doxxed a wide swath of his own constituents — just days after a terrorist attack — by publishing a searchable database of properties impacted by his new “pied-à-terre” tax.
The database, uploaded by the New York City Department of Finance, includes the addresses and names of property owners of homes valued at over one million dollars that the city has determined are not being used as primary residences.
The city published a list of all properties — and the names of the owners — that *could be* subject to the new pied a terre tax in a very easy to search Excel sheet: https://t.co/d3iAikgERk https://t.co/cRjMmprBob

Mamdani touted his plan to implement the “pied-à-terre” — or “second home” tax — in an X post a week earlier, essentially taunting wealthy New Yorkers as he warned them, “You’ve got mail.”
If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you’ve got mail.
Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon.
The best…

The piece of mail he referenced was the city’s assessment identifying the property as subject to the new tax — aimed specifically at the wealthy — along with a form to be filled out by the property owners if they met the stipulated qualifications for exemption from the tax.

Mamdani teased the coming wealth tax with a video — in which he vowed to “tax the rich” while standing outside a home owned by billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin, majority owner of Citadel LLC.
Mamdani stood in front of Griffin’s Midtown penthouse to tout his plan for a “pied à terre” tax — which would slap additional taxes on second homes valued at over five million dollars — and as The Daily Wire previously reported, Griffin made it clear that he did not appreciate the gesture.
“We will add far more jobs in Miami over the next decade as an immediate and direct consequence of the mayor’s poor decision here with respect to his posting of that video,” Griffin said, calling Mamdani’s video “creepy.”
Indeed, Mamdani’s move to doxx some of his wealthiest constituents comes just days after an anti-ICE extremist allegedly firebombed 26 Federal Plaza. The suspect reportedly used a makeshift incendiary device to carry out the attack.
