LLC

Trump Tower was one of the first Manhattan buildings to sell large numbers of units to anonymous LLCs.

A spokesperson for Governor Cuomo said the change 'came down to legislative intent.'

The rule threatens to upend a decades-long practice by wealthy buyers of New York City real estate seeking to cloak their purchases in anonymity, sometimes for nefarious reasons.

LLCs allow slumlords and foreign investors and shady political donors to rule NY.
