New York City has been ordered to overhaul its tax system in a landmark
ruling by the state’s highest court after black property owners claimed the
process favors their counterparts in whiter affluent areas.

“After decades of avoiding responsibility to fix a universally acknowledged
problem and a seven-year legal battle, city and state leaders will be
required to create a property tax system that is equitable and just for
millions of renters and homeowners in lower-income and minority
communities,” said Martha Stark, policy director for Tax Equity Now New
York, TENNY, the group that filed the lawsuit, in a statement after
Tuesday’s ruling.
