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 Brooklyn to former owner Chester  Wilkins,  notwithstanding
  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.  1651, Lot No. 52 on tax map for the borough of Brooklyn

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

  Section  1. Findings. On April 17, 1979, through a Brooklyn in rem tax
foreclosure action, the city of New  York  acquired  title  to  premises
designated  as  lot  52  in  tax block 1651, also known as 697 Jefferson
Avenue, in the borough of Brooklyn, based on non-payment of taxes due to
inadvertence by Chester Wilkins, 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 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 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 2009 authorizing
the in rem foreclosure release board to authorize the release of proper-
ty 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 other-

wise provided by law), state legislative authorization is  necessary  to
permit said reconveyance.
  S  2. Notwithstanding any other provision of general, special or local
law, charter or administrative code  to  the  contrary  and  subject  to
section  three of this act, the city of New York is hereby authorized to
release its interest in and reconvey the real property designated as tax
block 1651, lot 52, on the tax map of the city for the borough of Brook-
lyn as said map was on April 17, 1979, to Chester  Wilkins,  the  former
record owner of said property on such date.
  S 3.  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, subject to the gran-
tees meeting the following conditions precedent:
  (a) Submit an application for release in writing to the  city  commis-
sioner  of  general  services  accompanied  by a certified title search,
affidavit of ownership, and all fees and payments as otherwise  required
by section 11-424 of the administrative code of the city of New York.
  (b)  Pay all taxes, interest, penalties and charges otherwise required
by section 11-424 of the administrative code of the  city  of  New  York
upon  approval  of  the  application  by  the in rem foreclosure release
board.
  S 4. This chapter of the laws of 2009 shall not be deemed  to  be  the
chapter  upon the effectiveness of which paragraph 2 of subdivision a of

local law, depends. Accordingly, the  provisions  of  such  paragraph  2
shall  not  apply  to the release and reconveyance authorized to be made
herein.
  S 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
