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 Bronx to former owner St. Peter's Lutheran Church, notwith-
  standing  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.   2285, Lot No. 73 on tax map for the borough of
  Bronx

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Findings. On September 25, 1981, through a Bronx in rem tax
foreclosure  action,  the  city  of  New York acquired title to premises
designated as lot 73 in tax block 2285, also known  as  431  East  140th
Street,  in  the  borough of Bronx, based on non-payment of taxes due to
inadvertence by St. Peter's Lutheran Church, the former  owner  of  such
property. 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 prop-
erty  thus  acquired  if an application for such a release is filed with
the city's department of citywide  administrative  services  within  two
years  of  the  date  on  which  the city's deed is recorded and if such
application is approved by the in rem foreclosure release  board.  Since
that  period has now elapsed, and pending the effectiveness of a chapter
of the laws of 2011 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 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.

                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
