First Sale of Condemned Buildings Under New Law
The Controller will hold the first sealed bid sale of condemned buildings under a new law to make way for public improvements. The old Stone property in Stuyvesant Place, St George, leads the listings with further sales planned for June 29 and 20 in Richmond and The Bronx. Wrecking firms under a prior 714 auction system faced a push to bid against each other to control prices, and the Controller expects new bids to break the old combination as firms promise to participate once a breakdown is seen.
