Foreclosures In New and Unusual Places
Glancing at the list of foreclosures on the docket tomorrow, we noticed, among the usual sea of properties in Bed Stuy, Crown Heights and East New York, a couple of houses in areas that have not felt the sting of the current mortgage crisis much-—Park Slope and Bay Ridge.

Glancing at the list of foreclosures on the docket tomorrow, we noticed, among the usual sea of properties in Bed Stuy, Crown Heights and East New York, a couple of houses in areas that have not felt the sting of the current mortgage crisis much-—Park Slope and Bay Ridge. The house at the left, 271 11th Street, is a three-story (two plus English basement) place with a lien of $148,300, a surprisingly small amount to lead to a foreclosure in this part of town; the charmer on the right, 513 72nd Street, has a larger tab, $428,044 to be exact. Both are scheduled to be auctioned tomorrow at 360 Adams Street at 3 p.m.

So, does anyone know what these went for if they did? Or where do I find out what these went for?
These used to held on the courthouse steps unless the weather was bad. Has this changed? I work in the area and walk by and see it happening now and then.
If you’re interested in more Carroll Gardens foreclosures, I just found these in the area on realtrac.com:
549 Henry Street (right beside the laudromat on President&Henry
136 Degraw Street and 132 Degraw. All by the same owner (preforeclosures) James McGown. The financial lenders are Maspeth Federal Savings and Loans Association. There are quite a few violations (see NYC.gov). He basically has too many renters in the building (illegal structures too).
322 President Street (owned by the lender and at the last stage of foreclosure) Owner: Joseph Scotti.
That’s right people, you’re business is out for the public to see. Scary world we live in and here I am making it scarier. Happy house shopping!
They don’t happen on the front steps, they happen on the 2nd floor.
If anybody goes tomorrow, please report back.
Brownstoner, this would be a fine journalist assignment. Send someone to see how this or other auctions actually play out.
If these actually do happen on the front steps, can you videotape the auction? It would be fun and useful to see the frenzy going on.
My hassid attorney is ballz to the wall!
If you think I’m cool, 2:51, you should meet my attorney. Guy is the shit!
2:40 again. In my limited experience, they are all held outside on the courthouse steps or there about and often the time is fluid (+/- 30 minutes). Whenever anyone walks out with a clipboard, you have to rudely interrupt them and see if they have the listing. Several auctions can happen at once and you want to be in right cluster.
The Park Slope place is over priced.
