First year analyst work from office in September?

Hi, looking to get some thoughts.

I am a first year analyst working remotely for a bank in NYC. Currently reside on the west coast. Been asked to come into office starting in September, twice a week. Seems ridiculously early for this to be taking place in my opinion.

Should I bite the bullet and sign a 1 year NYC lease with the uncertainty of the firm moving back to complete WFH? (Have no interest in being in NYC if the office is 100% WFH) Or sublease/airbnb short term?
