DIAZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Cities 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 2010 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. 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 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
