BILL NUMBER:S6681 TITLE OF BILL: An act relating to final judgment in foreclosures by in rem proceedings in the city of Buffalo PURPOSE: To allow the City of Buffalo to obtain the proceeds of the sale of any property obtained through foreclosure without having to hold the title, for the benefit of the city's Urban Renewal Agency. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: exempts the City of Buffalo from Section 1136 of the real property tax law which relates to the entry of final judgment by a court in a foreclosure of a tax lien through an in rem proceeding. Subdivision 2: provides that upon final judgment in its favor, the City of Buffalo shall receive "the right to convey title" to the affected parcel(s). Current law grants the City of Buffalo "possession" of such parcel. Also, existing paragraphs (c) and (d) are deleted. Subdivision 3: provides that a judgment may be entered, upon request of the City of Buffalo, without the City taking title to the property. New language specifically authorizes the City to sell any property obtained via judgment if it chooses not to retain such parcel for public use.
