Foreclosure Auction Scheduled for 55 Eckford

There hasn’t been news about 55 Eckford Street, the long-stalled Greenpoint development, for a long time. Back in 2009, it was scheduled to come up for auction, and now it’s once again slated to hit the block. Per Property Shark, a foreclosure auction is scheduled for later this month, and the lien amount is $6,766,950. According to a Greenpoint Gazette article from early last year, a new firm acquired the property in late ’09, planning to finish construction and turn it into a rental. It’s unclear what became of the firm’s plans. DOB records show a standing stop work order and an impressive number of unresolved violations.
