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.

cheeky Americans.
They also call a truck a “lorry” and an elevator a “lift!” Plus they say: To-MAH-to! Frankly, I’ve had it with the English…
An English basement, in England, is what we would call the “ground floor”. An English basement is usually not an underground space.
In England the second floor is ususally called the first floor.
What we call an English basement they would probably call a cellar.
You can get information on any property, from a lawyer. They have access to everything.
English basement isn’t a meaningless term as far as DOB is concerned. I have one. The basement is about 2/3rds below grade and 1/3rd above grade (this makes it an english basement). If it was at least 50% above grade I could legally convert the floor to an apartment and rent it. Since it’s not, I use it as a rec room for the kids. Great use, but doesn’t exactly create income. Seems like most garden apartments are 50% below grade on the street side, but above grade on the garden side.
I’ll have my attorney approach them.
Is there any way to buy Hassid DNA on the black market and inject it into my buttocks?
I do not believe that the Hassidic community would take an interest in your buttocks, but you could ask them tomorrow at the auction.
“English Basement” Is a meaningless term. It is made-up real estate-eese, which I suppose is meant to convey that a basement is actually a refined European-style space dripping with detail (instead of leaks).
You may as well say a Parisian basement or an Austrian basement.
Such crap.
It’s a basement.
Actually, your basement is Atlantisian, 1:19.
