NYC foreclosure radar: Sept. 14–21, 2026 — a $1,000 Bronx opening bid, 46 new records, and a cancelled Manhattan sale

A house in the Bronx carries a $1,000 estimated opening bid at a September 28 sale. ServiceLink lists 3715 Rombouts Ave as a 1,403-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath single-family home in 10466, built in 1925 on a 1,800-square-foot lot, and marks it occupied with a trespass warning that bars entry before the sale. The sale runs at 1:15 p.m. in channel time in Courtroom 711 at 851 Grand Concourse. 1

The listing's own comparable-sales table puts ten closed sales within eight-tenths of a mile of it between $292 and $801 per square foot. The nearest, 3710 Secor Ave, sold for $999,999 in May 2024; 3919 Pratt Ave, three-tenths of a mile away, went for $550,000 in September 2024. 1

That $1,000 is the referee's starting number, and it is the lowest published opening bid of the eight exact-address sales in this issue. It is also the figure least likely to end up being the price: these sales are open and competitive, and the winning bid is whatever the room takes it to. Compare it with the other posted bid this week — $684,000 on a Laurelton house three days earlier. Each figure sits inside its own foreclosure case, set against its own plaintiff's claim. 2

No discount-to-appraisal percentage appears anywhere in this issue, and none of the sources available this week can produce one. A defensible discount needs a same-property opening bid paired with an independent market value. PropertyShark publishes no opening bids at all, and it masks the street address on every public row, so its figures cannot be attached to a house. ServiceLink publishes an opening bid on some listings, but the value column on those pages is a table of nearby closed sales. An appraisal of the subject property would need interior access and a physical inspection. Six of this week's eight exact-address sales carry no bid at all. So the ranking below is by urgency and verification burden, not by discount, and every row says so.

What changed this week

PropertyShark's five borough lists show 46 records newly dated September 14 through September 21, 2026: The Bronx 14, Queens 10, Brooklyn 8, Manhattan 7, Staten Island 7. By the day the portal stamped them: five on September 14, two on September 15, four on September 16, fourteen on September 17, thirteen on September 18, and eight on September 21. 3 4 5 6 7

Treat the eight stamped September 21 as boundary leads. The portal records a calendar date and no posting time, so a row stamped today may have appeared minutes or hours ago, and any count of "this week" that ends on a Monday is approximating at both ends.

The two portals publish different fields. PropertyShark publishes the date each record was added, the municipality's assessed value, the plaintiff, the referee, the judgment date and the scheduled auction hour — and withholds the street number, block-and-lot and index number. ServiceLink publishes full addresses, occupancy status, sale terms and, on some listings, an opening bid — and publishes no listing date at all, so its sales can be placed on the calendar but not inside a seven-day discovery window. The 46 dated rows define what is new this week. The eight ServiceLink sales supply the identities, occupancy labels and terms for a smaller set of properties whose auction dates, not their posting dates, put them in front of bidders now.

Municipal assessed value is a tax formula applied to a building, produced for the tax roll. Market value comes from recent comparable closings, interior access and a site inspection, and none of the eight listings offers those.

Every auction time below is in the channel's fixed -05:00 display timezone. New York court notices and sale listings state local Eastern Daylight Time, so each time here reads one hour earlier than the notice it came from.

Action board

The board opens with the week's lead and then runs in auction-date order, earliest first.

Priority	Property and borough	Auction in channel time	Opening bid	Value anchor
1 3715 Rombouts Ave, Bronx 10466	Sep. 28, 1:15 p.m.	$1,000 est.	Ten nearby closed sales at $292–$801 per sq. ft.	Occupied single-family home; trespass warning posted. A masked Bronx 10466 record of the same 1,403 sq. ft. carries the same Sept. 28 date and Courtroom 711, with a $212,982 lien and a Nov. 4, 2019 judgment — a possible match to confirm, not an established one. 1 5
2 883 Belmont Ave, Brooklyn 11208	Sep. 24, 1:30 p.m.	Not posted	Comps span $190–$472 per sq. ft.	Occupied 3,280 sq. ft. building, built 1930, lot 3,245 sq. ft.; sale in Room 224, 360 Adams Street. No property type or unit count is published, so the lawful use has to come from the city. 8
3 162 Norwood Ave, Brooklyn 11208	Sep. 24, 1:30 p.m.	Not posted	Comps span $199–$604 per sq. ft.	Occupied 1,760 sq. ft. building, built 1931, lot 3,088 sq. ft.; same room and hour as 883 Belmont. Two occupied East New York houses selling in the same session. 9
4 61 E 57th St, Brooklyn 11203	Sep. 24, 1:30 p.m.	Not posted	Comps span $68–$698 per sq. ft.	Occupancy is published as unknown, and the page carries the same no-entry notice as the occupied listings. Budget for either outcome. 10
5 133-15 225th St, Laurelton, Queens 11413	Sep. 25, 9:00 a.m.	$684,000	Not published	Occupied; no square footage, property type or year built posted, and the market-analysis panel returns no data. A $684,000 starting bid with no size to divide it by. 11
6 224-20 141st Ave, Laurelton, Queens 11413	Sep. 25, 9:00 a.m.	Not posted	Not published	Occupied multi-family, 1,728 sq. ft., four bed / three bath, built 1955 on a 1,955 sq. ft. lot; sale on the courthouse steps. Four bedrooms in 1,728 sq. ft. across two or more units. 12
7 320 E 184th St, Bronx 10458	Sep. 28, 1:15 p.m.	Not posted	Comps span $137–$621 per sq. ft.	Occupied 1992 duplex, 2,280 sq. ft. on a 3,313 sq. ft. lot; sale in Courtroom 607. Two units means a rent roll and a certificate-of-occupancy check. 13
8 2152 Quimby Ave, Bronx 10473	Sep. 28 (time pending)	Not posted	Comps span $176–$659 per sq. ft.	Occupied duplex, 3,060 sq. ft., built 1901 on a 2,575 sq. ft. lot. The sale location is still posted as pending, so the venue has to be confirmed before anyone plans to attend. 14

Seven of the eight are marked occupied. ServiceLink's pages carry a standard notice on those listings: no person may enter, and entry may be trespassing. That removes the interior inspection most buyers rely on, and it puts the possession question at the front of the file.

The deposit rule is the same across the Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens listings: a deposit of 10 percent, in certified funds, due immediately after the sale and payable to the referee. On a $1,000 opening bid that is a check you may never have planned to write, and it is due the same afternoon. 8 10

One listing on ServiceLink's New York list could not be read this week. 300 Cathedral Prkwy, Unit 11K, in Manhattan 10026 appears on the index as a condo with a September 22 sale, but the property page returns only a customer-service shell with no property fields. Nothing about it is verifiable, and it is named here so that a bidder who is tracking it knows the record was seen and not checked. 15

One sale posted in last week's radar falls today: 925 E 227th St in the Bronx, an occupied 1,824-square-foot duplex, carries a sale date of September 21. 2

The three Bronx sales on September 28

All three run in the same courthouse on the same afternoon, and they are at three different stages of readiness.

3715 Rombouts Ave is the one with a number attached and the one with a cross-reference worth chasing. PropertyShark carries a Bronx 10466 record, added September 7, describing a 1,403-square-foot one-family building on an 18-by-100-foot lot, with a $35,280 assessed value, a $212,982 lien, a judgment entered November 4, 2019, referee Gary Slobin, and a scheduled sale on September 28 at 1:15 p.m. in channel time, in Courtroom 711. The square footage, ZIP, hour and courtroom all match the ServiceLink listing. PropertyShark masks the address, so the match is unconfirmed: it is a lead to settle at the county clerk before it is treated as this property's debt figure. 1 5

If the match holds, the shape of the case is unusual for a bargain: a house whose neighbours sell for $292 to $801 per square foot, entered at $1,000, against a recorded claim of $212,982 from a judgment that has been running since 2019. If it does not hold, the $1,000 bid still belongs to a 1,403-square-foot occupied house with those comps, and the debt behind it is unknown. Either way, the courthouse file decides the bid, and the file is public.

320 E 184th St is a 1992 duplex of 2,280 square feet on a 3,313-square-foot lot in the Fordham area. Nine of the ten comparables on its own page run from $137 to $621 per square foot; the tenth is a 2024 transfer recorded at $5,000. The listing publishes no type, no unit count and no opening bid, and it posts the entry ban. A two-family built in 1992 in that part of the Bronx should be the easiest of the three to underwrite on paper, and the file that matters is the certificate of occupancy plus whatever rent roll the tenants' lawyer is willing to describe. 13

2152 Quimby Ave is the least ready. The duplex measures 3,060 square feet, was built in 1901, sits on a 2,575-square-foot lot, and is marked occupied. The sale date is posted as September 28 with no time, and the sale location is posted as pending. Ten comparables run from $176 to $659 per square foot, a spread wide enough that the low end implies roughly $540,000 and the high end implies roughly $2 million for the same 3,060 square feet — which is what happens when a comparables table mixes a 1,730-square-foot house with a 2,880-square-foot one. Until the venue is posted, there is nowhere to go. 14

Brooklyn: three sales in Room 224 on September 24

883 Belmont Ave and 162 Norwood Ave are four blocks apart in 11208, both marked occupied, and both scheduled at 1:30 p.m. in Room 224 of 360 Adams Street. Belmont is the larger at 3,280 square feet on a 3,245-square-foot lot; Norwood is 1,760 square feet on 3,088 square feet. Both listings withhold the property type, the unit count and the opening bid, and their comparables tables disagree in a way that has nothing to do with the houses: Belmont's ten nearby sales run $190 to $472 per square foot, Norwood's $199 to $604. 8 9

61 E 57th St, in 11203, is the only listing this week whose page leaves the occupancy field blank. It carries the same no-entry notice as the occupied listings. At 2,472 square feet on a 2,516-square-foot lot, with nearby sales from $68 to $698 per square foot, this is a file to open at the courthouse and settle from the record. 10

Queens: two Laurelton sales on September 25

The two Queens listings sell an hour apart on the same morning, both in and around Courtroom 25 at 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard, and they present the opposite problem from each other.

133-15 225th St posts an opening bid of $684,000 and nothing else: no square footage, no property type, no year built, no comparable sales, and an occupied label. A six-figure starting bid needs a size before it means anything. Bidders can get the size from the city's records, but the notice that set the bid is what explains it. 11

224-20 141st Ave posts a full property description — a 1,728-square-foot multi-family with four bedrooms and three baths, built in 1955 on a 1,955-square-foot lot, occupied — and no comparable sales and no bid. For that one, the missing piece is the money; for the other, it is the property. 12

The 46 new public rows, by borough

Every row below is a screening lead, not a property. PropertyShark withholds the street number, block-and-lot and index number on each public record, so none of these can be inspected, driven past or bid on until the parcel is reconstructed from the county clerk's index and the referee's notice of sale. Opening bids do not appear on these lists at all.

Three of the Manhattan rows describe one action over three parcels — same plaintiff, same judgment date, same $356,129,154 claim — not three separate opportunities. And in Queens, the two Cambria Heights rows are two different houses on the same street four days apart, with different plaintiffs and different referees.

The Garment District cluster is the week's only genuinely institutional file: three parcels of a single office portfolio, held together by one $356,129,154 claim from a judgment entered in July 2026. It needs environmental review, tenant analysis and an institutional balance sheet. The two small condo units are the opposite end — a $28,099 claim in Battery Park City and a $1,264,998 claim in the Financial District, less than a mile apart, where the surviving common charges and any first mortgage will matter more than the plaintiff's number.

Court-calendar watch

Law firm calendars publish exact street addresses and live legal status, and they publish no listing dates, no opening bids and no appraisals. Treat these entries as calendars to monitor: they carry addresses and legal status only.

New on the calendar this week. 18905 119th Avenue, Saint Albans, Queens 11412 is posted for October 23 at 9:00 a.m. in channel time, before referee Joseph Trotti. The address appears on the current Davidson Fink sales list and was not on that list a week ago. 21

Cancelled. 7 W 131st Street, Units A3 and A-STOR-3, Manhattan 10037 was posted for October 20 at 1:15 p.m. in Room 252 of 60 Centre Street; Roach & Lin now marks that sale cancelled. The same address was cancelled once in August and had been restored to the October calendar, so anyone holding an inspection budget against it should stop spending on it. 22

Off the calendar. 8913 Avenue M, Brooklyn does not appear on the current Davidson Fink list, which had carried it for October 15. Treat a dropped address as unscheduled until a firm re-lists it. 21

What these records still leave open

The 46 public rows withhold the street number, the block-and-lot and the index number. That masking is what the portal's public tier publishes, and it means a bidder has to reconstruct the parcel from other records before walking past the house. The rows also withhold the full mortgage chain, the lien priority order, municipal tax arrears, water and sewer charges, and any mechanic's lien filings.

The eight exact-address listings withhold the money. Six publish no opening bid, one omits the size and type entirely, two more omit the property type, one leaves the occupancy field blank, and two publish no comparable sales. None publishes a title report, an occupancy detail beyond a single word, or an estimate of what it costs to get a tenant out.

A query through the two court calendars fills in addresses and status and nothing else — no bids, no appraisals, no occupancy.

The order that saves money

Match the record to a parcel before anything else. Take the county clerk's index, the referee's notice of sale and the auction date, and confirm they describe one property. Doing this first is what stops a bidder from paying for a search on the wrong parcel.
Pull the judgment and the recording chain, in the order the documents were recorded. This is where lien priority lives, and it decides which obligations survive the sale.
Order the title search once the parcel is confirmed.
Ask the city for tax arrears, water and sewer balances and any emergency repair charges, and ask the condo or co-op for common charges and special assessments.
Settle possession. Seven of this week's eight exact-address listings are occupied and one is unknown, and possession is a separate proceeding from the auction.
Read the referee's terms and prepare the deposit. The listings state 10 percent in certified funds, payable to the referee, immediately after the sale.
Re-check the calendar on the morning of the sale. One entry was cancelled this week and another disappeared from a firm's list, and both had been posted as scheduled.
