Introduced by M. of A. ARROYO -- read once and referred to the Committee
  on Cities

AN  ACT  authorizing  the  city of New York to reconvey its interests in
  certain real property accrued August 8, 1978 by in rem tax foreclosure
  in the borough of the Bronx to Gardner Paige  notwithstanding  expira-
  tion  of  the two year period within which applications may be made to
  the city to release its interest in property thus acquired; Block  No.
  2347, Lot No. 12, on the tax map for the borough of the Bronx

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

  Section 1. Findings. On August 8, 1978, through a borough of the Bronx
in rem tax foreclosure the city of New York acquired title  to  premises
designated  as  lot  12  in tax block 2347, also known as 140 east 150th
street, borough of the Bronx, based on non-payment of taxes due  to  the
inadvertent  failure  to  pay  taxes thereon by the former owner of such
property, Gardner Paige. 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 the chapter of the
laws of 2009 authorizing the in rem foreclosure release board to author-
ize the release of property where an application  for  such  release  is
made more than two years after the date of the city's acquisition there-
of, state legislation is necessary to restore said property to the afor-
esaid  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.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.

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

  Section 1. Findings. On August 8, 1978, through a borough of the Bronx
in  rem  tax foreclosure the city of New York acquired title to premises
designated as lot 12 in tax block 2347, also known  as  140  east  150th
street,  borough  of the Bronx, based on non-payment of taxes due to the
inadvertent failure to pay taxes thereon by the  former  owner  of  such

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 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 the
chapter of the laws of 2009 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 acqui-
sition thereof, state legislation is necessary to restore said  property
to  the  aforesaid  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.
