A state appeals court on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit that claimed New York City’s property tax system discriminates against low-income and minority homeowners, finding that flaws within the complicated statutory structure did not amount to violations of the state and federal constitutions.

A four-judge panel of the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department wrote that while New York City neighborhoods remain “deeply segregated,” plaintiffs from the tax-reform advocacy group Tax Equity Now NY had not shown that property-tax disparities disproportionately impacted black and Hispanic residents, compared with white homeowners.
