"Exclusive $38M Hamptons Mansion Sale Comes with a Major Catch"

Developer Harry Macklowe is selling his Hamptons mansion for $38 million, but there's a major catch – it's uninhabitable due to lacking a certificate of occupancy. The property has numerous legal complications, including illegal construction and fines for violations. The house, purchased for $10.35 million in 2017, was built without permits and too close to wetlands. Despite the listing, no one can legally occupy the home, and Macklowe is currently in a legal battle with East Hampton Village officials.
