Bronx Homeowners - Have you received a warning letter from the NYC Department of finance that your property owest taxes and/or NYC charges and will be included in the December 17th NYC Lien Sale?

Learn more about the sale of your liens and how to prevent it by attending an NYC DOF Webinar. Click this link for the webinar dates held throughout October, November, and December.

Have you had financial hardship due to Covid-19 or Damage from Hurricane Ida? You may be able to be excluded from the lien sale. 

You may be eligible for exclusion from the lien sale if you are the owner of the property, your property has ten or fewer residential units, you are experiencing financial hardship and unable to pay your tax bill, and you had a significant loss of household income during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you think you may be eligible, submit a COVID-19 hardship declaration either online or by mail.

If your property is slated for lien sale you may need legal assistance to protect your home. UNHP is partnering with the Bronx Foreclosure Prevention Project and Legal Aid. The Legal Aid Society offices are closed, but they continue to assist homeowners with mortgage issues, property taxes, water charges, and other delinquent liens.

Court appearances are being rescheduled and foreclosures on most mortgages have been suspended. You may be eligible for relief due to COVID-19 issues. Call us for free assistance and advisement at (646) 340-1908. Please be aware of scammers who may exploit the current crisis. Call us with concerns, leave a message with your name and number and we will return your call.
