Summary of provisions
Section 1. Findings. States that pursuant to sections 11-424 and 11-424.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York, the city may release its interest in property thus acquired if an application for such a release is filed with the city's department of general services within two years of the date on which the city's deed is recorded. If such period has elapsed, state legislation is necessary for reconveyance. Such release may be made upon approval of the city of New York, subject to the former owner meeting conditions set forth by the City of New York.
Section 2. Authorizes the City of New York to release its interest and reconvey the real property designated as tax block 2285, lot 73 for the Borough of the Bronx, to St. Peter's Lutheran Church.
Section 3. Provides that such release and reconveyance may be made only upon the approval of the in rem foreclosure release board established by section 11-424.1 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York. Specifies that certain conditions must be met.
Section 4. Refers to Section 11-424, subdivision a, paragraph 2 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York: Application to the city for release of property acquired by in rem tax foreclosure.
Section 5. Effective Date.
Justification
In 1981, through Bronx in rem tax foreclosure action the City of New York acquired title to premises designated as lot No. 73 in tax block 2285, based on non-payment of taxes due to non-payment of real estate taxes. This bill will allow such property to be returned to the owner provided specific conditions are met.
