NYC Foreclosure Auction Radar — May 28, 2026

Coverage window: May 27, 2026 14:27 UTC → May 28, 2026 14:00 UTC (~23.5 hours). Infrastructure note: Google and Serper search APIs are down for a third consecutive day. Bing processed queries on named streets but returned zero usable results for most numeric NYC addresses. Auction.com direct-URL access remained the sole reliable data channel and covered roughly 62% of targeted listings. ServiceLink property pages are fully inaccessible (JavaScript-only rendering, not indexed by Bing). Estimated cycle coverage: ~55%. Outstanding outcomes from May 26's ServiceLink batch remain unconfirmed.

Glossary: OB = opening bid (Auction.com minimum); EMV = estimated market value (composite of available AVM sources; always treat as an approximation); First Look = Auction.com program restricting early bidding to owner-occupants and approved nonprofit entities; CWCOT = Claims Without Conveyance of Title (HUD/FHA program under which ServiceLink lists most properties). NYC tax lien sales remain paused through approximately October 2026 — all active listings below are mortgage or HOA foreclosures.

Watch-list — overnight price cuts and relist changes

167 E 61st St Apt 28E, Manhattan — OB cut to $782,500, auction May 31

The Upper East Side co-op that had been sitting at a $882,500 opening bid since the May 20 cycle has had its OB trimmed by $100,000 to $782,500 (–11.3%). 1 Auction opens in approximately 3 days — roughly May 31. The property is a 2-bed/2.5-bath co-op unit at 1,342 sq ft, built 1983, with a monthly HOA of $4,297.

At $782,500 OB and a prior tracked EMV range of $1.44M–$1.61M, the implied discount sits at roughly 46–51% — an eyecatching figure for a UES co-op. The critical risk: co-op board approval. Co-op shares are not conveyed the same way a condo deed is; if the building's proprietary lease requires board approval of any transfer (the norm in NYC co-ops), a winning bidder who fails board review can lose their deposit. Verify the building's transfer approval requirements on ACRIS before bidding. The $4,297/month HOA carry cost will also constrain the buyer pool, which is likely why the OB required a cut.

625 Lenox Rd, Brooklyn — OB slashed 38.9%, relisted as #2081071

The most significant price move this cycle. 625 Lenox Road (East Flatbush/Flatlands border) has been relisted for a third time, now as listing #2081071 (prior IDs: #2069301 and an earlier iteration). The opening bid dropped from $450,000 to $275,000 — a cut of $175,000, or 38.9%. 2 Auction opens approximately June 1. Page views stand at 7,536, the highest of any property tracked this cycle — meaning this address has substantial audience even before bidding opens.

625 Lenox Road, Brooklyn — single-family home exterior (Bank Owned, OB $275K) — Active listing, 625 Lenox Rd — two-family footprint, 3,010 sq ft, built 1940. 2

The property is a 2-bed/1-bath single-family home at 3,010 sq ft on a 0.06-acre lot, built 1940. No confirmed EMV is available from this cycle (DOF portal was down for maintenance; Bing returned no usable results for the address). Prior cycle notes recorded a MLS reference of approximately $620,000, which would imply a ~56% discount at the new OB. Two property-condition flags from the listing: roof condition unknown and plumbing condition unknown — both buyer-responsibility disclosures that suggest the bank has limited inspection data. Competitive bidding reached the mid-$400Ks in prior cycles, so expect the final bid to rise well above $275K; the new floor just resets where the auction starts.

440 Blake Ave, Brooklyn — 2nd relist as #2080980, OB $475,000

440 Blake Avenue (Brownsville) has been relisted again, now under ID #2080980 (prior IDs: #1902328 and #2055792). 3 Opening bid remains at $475,000. The property is a 5-bed/2-bath duplex building at 2,765 sq ft, built 2005, with auction expected to open approximately June 1. EMV for this address has not been confirmable across multiple cycles — Bing's name collision on "Blake" (returning results for Blake Lively and the band) and DOF portal maintenance have blocked all three EMV retrieval attempts. Without an EMV anchor, the $475K OB cannot be benchmarked as a discount. Run a DOF assessed-value lookup using the property's BBL once the DOF portal is accessible.

820 Edison Ave, Bronx — 4th consecutive no-bid inferred

This property has effectively confirmed its 4th consecutive auction failure. The original Auction.com listing ID #1702986 — the one under which 820 Edison Ave was tracked — has been reassigned to 831 Jennings Street, a different Bronx address. 4 On Auction.com, recycling a listing ID to a new property strongly indicates the prior property's listing was withdrawn after receiving no qualifying bids.

This is 820 Edison's fourth straight cycle without a confirmed sale. Four failures at an address with a reported $835,500 DistressedRealEstate AVM 5 and last market sale of $750,000 in 2022 6 is not a discount signal — it is a structural problem signal. Repeated auction failures in NYC typically indicate a disputed lien priority (a superior lien surviving the foreclosure), title defect, or occupancy complication. Until those issues are documented and resolved, the apparent discount is not actionable.

451 E 49th St, Brooklyn — OB confirmed $350K, opens ~June 1

451 East 49th Street (East Flatbush), 3-bed/1.5-bath at 709 sq ft, has a confirmed OB of $350,000 on listing #2062616 (a new ID #2080807 also appeared this cycle — possible dual listing or relist in progress). 7 Auction opens approximately June 1. Prior MLS reference: $770,000. Roof condition flagged as unknown. At $350K OB vs. $770K MLS, implied discount is ~54.5% — but 709 sq ft is a compact footprint for a 3-bed configuration; check actual room dimensions.

OB confirmed today — ranked by implied discount

Four properties that previously showed "TBD" opening bids now have confirmed figures. Ranked by implied discount to available EMV reference:

Address	Borough	Type	OB confirmed	EMV reference	Implied discount	Auction opens
420 E 72nd St 16E	Manhattan (Lenox Hill)	Co-op, 1bd/1ba, 600 sq ft	$175,000	$452,249 (Cotality AVM) 8	~61.3% ⚠️	~June 14
209 E 2nd St #6	Manhattan (East Village)	Condo, 2bd/2ba, 1,238 sq ft	$900,000	$1,850,000 (prior MLS confirmed) 9	~51.4%	~June 1
831 Jennings St	Bronx (Crotona Park East)	SFH, 5bd/2ba, 2,020 sq ft	$275,000	$619,182 (RealtyTrac) 10	~55.6%	Active now
57 Harbour Ct	Staten Island (Great Kills)	Condo, 2bd/2.5ba, 1,532 sq ft	$300,000	$546,700–$640,000 (AVM range) 11	~47–53%	~June 8, First Look
255-31 149th Rd	Queens (Rosedale)	Multi-unit, 6bd/2.5ba, 2,163 sq ft	$477,500	Not available 12	TBD	~June 1, First Look

Discounts are calculated against the best available EMV reference per listing. 420 E 72nd St uses Cotality AVM ($452,249); 831 Jennings St uses RealtyTrac ($619,182); 209 E 2nd St uses prior confirmed MLS ($1.85M); 57 Harbour Ct uses midpoint of DistressedRealEstate AVM ($546,700) and MLS ($640,000). 255-31 149th Rd has no confirmed EMV — shown as 0. All figures are approximations.

420 E 72nd St Apt 16E, Manhattan (Lenox Hill) — The headline number of ~61% off is real on paper but comes with a structural constraint that changes the calculation entirely. The listing specifies: "Property conveyed as leasehold interest only, not fee simple." 8 A leasehold interest means the buyer acquires the right to occupy the unit for the remaining term of the ground lease, not the underlying property. When the ground lease expires, the interest reverts to the land owner. Most residential mortgage lenders will not finance a leasehold interest unless the remaining lease term is substantially longer than the loan term (typically 30+ years beyond the mortgage maturity). This effectively limits the buyer pool to all-cash purchasers, and the resale market for a leasehold co-op is materially thinner than for a fee-simple unit. The 1-bed/1-bath at 600 sq ft was built in 1962; 372 page views suggest limited market awareness so far. Interior access is listed as available. The auction opens approximately June 14 — giving time to pull the ground lease documents and get a title opinion before bidding.

209 E 2nd St #6, Manhattan (East Village) — A 2-bed/2-bath condo at 1,238 sq ft in Alphabet City. Opening bid of $900,000 confirmed against a prior MLS listing of $1,850,000 (confirmed via prior research cycles), implying roughly 51.4% below the last ask. 9 The MLS listing has been live for multiple months without closing, which is consistent with a contested or encumbered title. Page views sit at 5,510 — the highest attention of any Manhattan property this cycle, which should translate into competitive bidding above the OB. The unit opens ~June 1 under First Look initially. Note: no confirmed DOF assessed value or independent AVM is available this cycle, so the $1.85M MLS price is the only market reference; treat it as the asking-price ceiling, not confirmed market value.

831 Jennings St, Bronx (Crotona Park East) — Previously tracked under 820 Edison Ave's recycled listing ID, 831 Jennings now has its own active listing #2069919 with an OB of $275,000. 10 RealtyTrac's expected value is $619,182 (noting a sqft discrepancy: Auction.com lists 2,020 sq ft while RealtyTrac references 1,428 sq ft — the larger figure from Auction.com is likely more current). 13 The implied discount of ~55.6% is the most grounded of this cycle's entries, backed by a third-party AVM. The 1901-built five-bedroom has a 0.04-acre lot in a neighborhood that has seen steady landlord investment. Auction has been live since approximately May 25. This is the most actionable entry in today's radar.

57 Harbour Ct, Staten Island (Great Kills) — A 2-bed/2.5-bath condo at 1,532 sq ft confirmed with OB $300,000. 11 Two EMV references conflict: DistressedRealEstate.net estimated $546,700 as of September 2025, 14 while the prior MLS confirmed approximately $640,000. 15 The 15% spread between those two estimates is within normal AVM variance for Staten Island condos; using the midpoint (~$593K) produces an implied discount of roughly 49.4%. The unit's First Look period runs through June 24, meaning non-owner-occupant investors cannot bid until after that date. Auction opens ~June 8. Last recorded sale: $515,000 in May 2006. 15

255-31 149th Road, Rosedale, Queens — A 6-bed/2.5-bath two-family semi-detached home at 2,163 sq ft on a 0.1-acre lot, built 1960. 12 Opening bid confirmed at $477,500. No EMV data available this cycle — DOF portal was down, and Bing returned no relevant results for the address. The listing is under First Look (owner-occupants and approved entities only) through June 10. Rosedale is a stable southeast Queens residential neighborhood; a two-family semi-detached at $477.5K OB is plausible value, but discount cannot be quantified without an EMV anchor. Pull the DOF assessed value using the BBL before the June 1 opening.

Upcoming batch — ~June 1 openings

A batch of Auction.com Bank Owned properties was discovered via the "similar properties" panels on confirmed listings. These have opening bids disclosed but limited independent data available this cycle:

Address	Borough	Type	OB	Notes
536 W 163rd St Apt 3D	Manhattan (Washington Heights)	3bd/1ba	$275,000	Price-reduced flag 8
15 Broad St Apt 1200	Manhattan (Financial District)	1bd/1ba	$650,000	FiDi high-rise 8
84-16 Elmhurst Ave	Queens (Elmhurst)	2bd/1ba	$175,000	9
332 Parkville Ave	Brooklyn (Kensington)	7bd/3ba	$987,500	Large multi-room 16
1095 E 72nd St Unit 10	Brooklyn (Canarsie)	2bd/2ba	$200,000	16

Specific EMV data is not available for any of these properties this cycle — they surfaced via recommendation panels, not direct listing-page scrapes. All OBs should be independently verified on the live Auction.com listing before treating them as confirmed.

On the radar — ongoing listings

1444 Edwards Ave, Bronx (Schuyerville) — This property returns with a notable EMV update. Auction.com's own market value estimate is $905,430, 17 settling at the high end of the prior range ($493K–$778K across three third-party AVMs). Auction opens approximately June 22. No OB is confirmed for this cycle, but the Auction.com EMV being consistent with the higher third-party estimates suggests a more defensible market reference than the prior mid-range.

1334 Pacific St, Brooklyn (Crown Heights) — After two cycles with zero EMV data, a DOF assessment has been recovered via Trulia. The NYC Department of Finance assessed value for tax year 2024 is $1,477,000, 18 with property tax of $5,477/year. The property is also listed on MLS at $1,650,000 (MLS #990385). 19 Auction.com listing #2080750 shows the property as active but opening bid was not retrievable this cycle. The 6-bed/3-bath Colonial multi-family at 3,200 sq ft was built 1931 with a 0.046-acre lot in Crown Heights. The DOF assessed value now provides a defensible benchmark once the OB is confirmed.

Unresolved — ServiceLink May 26 and persistent gaps

Five properties that closed on ServiceLink on May 26 have no confirmed outcomes:

Address	Borough	Last known CB	Status
1280 E 100th St	Brooklyn (Canarsie)	$510,000	No result — JS-only pages 20
1568 Rockaway Pkwy	Brooklyn (Canarsie)	$430,000	No result
266 Jamaica Ave	Brooklyn (East New York)	Not confirmed	No result
1414 Putnam Ave	Brooklyn (Bushwick)	Not confirmed	No result
110-34 166th St	Queens (Jamaica)	Not confirmed	No result

ServiceLink's property detail pages render entirely via JavaScript and are not indexed by Bing. With Google/Serper APIs offline, there is no available route to scrape or search these results. If infrastructure recovers, the May 29 cycle should retrieve these outcomes via Google search or ServiceLink's own search index.

1225 E 85th St, Brooklyn — The "sold vs. active" status conflict on listing #1924862 has entered a third consecutive unresolved cycle. Auction.com serves the page as a JavaScript SPA with no extractable property data; ACRIS has been intermittently blocking bandwidth; Bing returns unrelated results for any query involving the address. Status remains unknown.

Due diligence checklist

Before bidding on any listing in this report:

Confirm live data: OBs, deposit requirements, auction end times, buyer's premium, and deed type change without notice. This report reflects a point-in-time snapshot as of approximately 14:00 EDT on May 28. Check the live Auction.com or ServiceLink listing immediately before bidding.
ACRIS (acris.nyc.gov) — all recorded deeds, mortgages, and liens by address. Free. Non-negotiable for any NYC auction.
NYSCEF (iapps.courts.state.ny.us) — foreclosure case file: plaintiff identity, judgment amount, and whether a judgment of foreclosure and sale has been entered. Determines lien priority.
DOF assessed value (nyc.gov/finance) — once the portal returns from maintenance, pull the BBL for any property lacking a confirmed EMV.
FEMA Flood Map (msc.fema.gov) — required for any coastal or low-lying property. Specifically: 255-31 149th Rd Rosedale (coastal Queens), 57 Harbour Ct Great Kills (south shore Staten Island), 16 W 14th Rd Far Rockaway.

Property-specific flags:

420 E 72nd St — Obtain the ground lease and confirm remaining term and renewal options before bidding. Conventional mortgage financing is unlikely on a leasehold interest with a short remaining term.
167 E 61st St — Pull ACRIS to confirm co-op vs. condo structure. If co-op, review the proprietary lease and the building's transfer approval rules before placing any bid.
820 Edison Ave — Four consecutive no-bid cycles without a recorded sale. Do not bid until ACRIS title search reveals and resolves any superior lien or title defect.
625 Lenox Rd — Roof and plumbing condition flagged as unknown by the listing. Budget for a full property inspection if interior access can be arranged pre-auction; structural rehabilitation costs could materially affect the economics at any bid level above $350K.
CWCOT properties (ServiceLink) — No lender-issued title insurance. Independent title search is mandatory before any ServiceLink bid.
