Hooray for Judge Wayne Ozzi for derailing Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax.Or at least the most outrageous part of the rollout, at least for now: In advance of an Aug.31 hearing, the city has to take down its list of hundreds of thousands of names of homeowners who “might” have to pay the class-war tax.Mamdani and Gov.
