Title of bill
An act authorizing the city of New York to reconvey its interest in certain real property acquired by in rem tax foreclosure in the borough of Queens to former owners Thomas and Lucille Hussey, notwithstanding expiration of the two year period within which application may be made to the city to release its interest in property thus acquired; Block No. 11364, Lot No. 30 on tax map for the borough of Queens
Purpose
Authorizes New York city to reconvey property obtained by an in rem proceeding to Lucille Hussey.
Justification
On March 24, 1992, the property located at Block 11364, Lot 30, also known as 133-47 84th Street, Ozone Park, in the borough of Queens, was acquired by in rem tax foreclosure, based on non-payment of taxes due to inadvertence by Thomas and Lucille Hussey, the former owners of such property. Since the period for filing a release application to the City has expired, pending the effectiveness of a chapter of the laws of 1998 authorizing the in rem foreclosure release board to authorize the release of property where an application for such release is made more than two years after the date of the city's acquisition thereof, state enabling legislation is necessary to restore said property to the aforesaid former owner. In addition, since the New York City Charter requires that the sale of city owned property be at public auction or by sealed bids (except as otherwise provided by law), state legislative authorization is necessary to permit said reconveyance.
Legislative history
S.6707 (2008); S.5948 (1998).
