NYC Foreclosure Auction Radar — May 21, 2026
Eleven new NYC foreclosure listings from May 20–21, 2026 across all five boroughs. Staten Island's 59 Pembrook Loop leads with a confirmed 54% opening-bid discount ($275K OB vs. $600K Zillow). Brooklyn's 1334 Pacific St (Crown Heights, 6-bed multi-family) shows ~51% implied discount at $800K OB vs. $1.65M Trulia comp. Seven of eleven opening bids remain TBD. Watch-list highlight: 625 Lenox Rd re-listed at $275,000 after a 40.5% price cut, auction opens May 25. 820 Edison Ave's auction closes today with zero bids on record.

Eleven new foreclosure listings entered the NYC Auction.com pipeline between May 20–21, 2026, spanning all five boroughs: Manhattan (1), Brooklyn (2), Bronx (2), Queens (5), and Staten Island (1). Staten Island's 59 Pembrook Loop leads today's board with a confirmed 54% opening-bid discount to its Zillow estimate — the clearest discount figure in today's batch. The watch-list headline: 625 Lenox Road in Brooklyn has been re-listed at $275,000, a 40.5% cut from its original $462,500 opening bid, with a new auction window opening May 25.
All active foreclosures in today's batch are mortgage or HOA foreclosures. NYC's tax lien sale program remains paused through approximately October 24, 2026 — unpaid property taxes are passive liens on these properties, not separately auctioned.1

Top pick — Staten Island
59 Pembrook Loop, Staten Island NY 10309
This is today's most quantifiable deal. 59 Pembrook Loop is a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom single-family townhouse, 1,672 sqft, on a 0.03-acre lot, built 1992, in the Prince's Bay / Rossville corridor of southern Staten Island.2 Opening bid: $275,000. Zillow Zestimate: $600,000. Implied discount: ~54%. This is the only new listing today where both opening bid and market estimate are confirmed.3
The listing is bank-owned REO on Auction.com (listing #2075475), sold cash-only via Special Warranty Deed. This is also the only new Staten Island listing in today's batch.
Risk flags:
- No lien priority data confirmed. Run an ACRIS title search (acris.nyc.gov, free by block/lot) before bidding to check for HOA arrears or subordinate liens carried over from the prior owner.
- 1992 townhouse construction. Shared party walls typical of attached townhome complexes; structural work on shared elements requires cooperation from adjacent owners. HOA community fee obligations may also attach.
- Occupancy status unconfirmed. Treat as potentially occupied until verified. Bank REO means the prior foreclosure is complete; eviction of any remaining occupant is the buyer's responsibility post-closing.
- Cash only, buyer's premium applies. Typical Auction.com buyer's premium is 5% on top of the winning bid. Budget for title insurance ($500–$1,500) and Auction.com escrow/document fees.
- No flood zone confirmation. Southern Staten Island includes FEMA-designated flood areas. Verify the specific parcel's flood zone designation on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before bidding — flood zone status affects insurance costs and any future financing.
Manhattan
209 East 2nd Street #6, Lower East Side, Manhattan NY 10009
209 E 2nd St #6 is a condo apartment, building constructed circa 1900, on Auction.com (listing #2075422) as a new bank-owned listing.4 Opening bid: $900,000. No Auction.com EMV is published. A comparable unit in the same building (Apt 7) is listed at $1,494/sqft on Zillow; if the subject unit has comparable square footage, the opening bid would represent a meaningful discount — but without the subject unit's confirmed square footage, no discount percentage can be calculated.5
The listing notes an HOA fee of approximately $1,917/month — a significant carrying cost that needs to be factored into any bid ceiling calculation. Sale is cash-only via Special Warranty Deed.
Risk flags:
- No confirmed unit square footage. Without this, the $900K bid cannot be placed against a reliable discount figure. Verify the unit's recorded square footage via NYC DOF ACRIS or the co-op/condo board before bidding.
- HOA arrears unknown. At ~$1,917/month, any sustained delinquency could represent $20K–$50K+ in arrears at closing. Confirm with the building's managing agent.
- Pre-1940 building construction. Lead paint and aging mechanical systems are likely; budget for inspection and remediation costs.
- Occupancy status unconfirmed. No eviction records surfaced.
- Foreclosure case background unconfirmed. Index number and plaintiff not retrieved. Run a NYSCEF (iapps.courts.state.ny.us) search by address before bidding.
Brooklyn
1334 Pacific Street, Crown Heights, Brooklyn NY 11216
1334 Pacific St is a multi-family residential property, approximately 3,200 sqft, 6 bedrooms, in Crown Heights — one of Brooklyn's most in-demand rental submarkets.6 Opening bid: $800,000. Trulia comparable listing: $1,650,000. Implied discount: ~51%. The Trulia figure is from a foreclosure/bank-owned listing on the same street, making it a relevant (if imprecise) market anchor.7
The listing is bank-owned REO, sold cash-only. Important restriction: eligible bidders are limited to owner-occupants or "Approved Entities" only — investors seeking to acquire for pure rental income should verify whether they qualify before registering.
Risk flags:
- Buyer eligibility restriction. Confirm your status as an owner-occupant or Approved Entity with Auction.com before bidding. Winning a bid you are ineligible to close on creates legal and deposit forfeiture exposure.
- Occupancy status unconfirmed. A 6-bedroom multi-family in Crown Heights is very likely tenant-occupied. Holdover proceedings against tenants in NYC Housing Court can run 6–18 months, depending on occupant status and rent stabilization implications. This is the single biggest variable for any multi-family foreclosure acquisition.
- Lien priority and case background unconfirmed. ACRIS title search is mandatory. Crown Heights multi-family properties often carry multiple lien layers (mechanic's liens, judgment liens, HOA arrears).
- No Zillow/StreetEasy estimate for the subject property. The $1.65M Trulia figure is a general comparable, not an appraisal of this specific building. Commission an independent BPO or appraisal before placing a high bid.
- Special Warranty Deed only. Title insurance is mandatory; the deed does not warrant against defects arising before the seller's ownership period.
451 East 49th Street, East Flatbush, Brooklyn NY 11203
451 E 49th St is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-family home, 1,404 sqft, built 1920, listed on Auction.com (listing #2075219) with opening bid TBD.8 Zillow estimates the property at $770,000.9 A neighboring property at 447 E 49th St sold for $670,500, consistent with the Zillow anchor. Without a confirmed opening bid, no discount can be calculated.
Risk flags:
- Opening bid unpublished. Check the Auction.com listing 24–48 hours before the auction starts for the posted figure.
- 1920 construction. Lead paint, aging plumbing, and knob-and-tube wiring are likely; budget for a full inspection scope before bidding.
- Occupancy and case background unconfirmed. Index number and foreclosing plaintiff not retrieved.
- Cash only, Special Warranty Deed. Title insurance is effectively mandatory.
Bronx
445 West 240th Street, Riverdale, Bronx NY 10463
445 W 240th St is a condominium unit, 1,149 sqft, in a 1949-era building in Riverdale — one of the Bronx's most desirable residential neighborhoods.10 Opening bid: TBD. Comparable units in the same building on Zillow range from $399,000 (APT 5N, 1br/1ba, 904 sqft) to $556,000 (APT 1E, 3br/2ba, 1,400 sqft), placing a 1,149 sqft unit somewhere in the $430K–$490K range as a rough proxy.11 The specific unit number being auctioned has not been confirmed in publicly available data.
Risk flags:
- Unit number unconfirmed. The Auction.com listing ID (2075307) did not render unit-level details in publicly accessible data. Verify the exact unit with Auction.com customer support before bidding.
- HOA arrears likely to attach. Condo foreclosures transfer with any outstanding common charge arrears owed to the condo association unless fully resolved at closing.
- 1949 building. Pre-1960 construction carries lead paint and aging elevator/mechanical system exposure.
- Opening bid unpublished. No discount calculation possible until the bid is posted.
- Cash only, Special Warranty Deed. Title insurance required.
831 Jennings Street, Bronx NY 10459
831 Jennings St is a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom multi-family home, 2,020 sqft, bank-owned, listed on Auction.com (listing #2076179).12 Opening bid: TBD. Zillow estimates the property at $400,000.13 If the opening bid comes in below $300K — common for bank REO multi-family in the East Bronx — the implied discount would be 25%+. This is worth monitoring once the bid is posted.
Risk flags:
- Opening bid unpublished. No discount calculation possible at this stage.
- Occupancy status unconfirmed. A 5-bedroom multi-family in this corridor is highly likely to be tenant-occupied. Plan for possible holdover proceedings.
- Lien and case background unconfirmed. ACRIS title search required.
- Cash only. 5-bedroom multi-family in East Bronx at this price point is effectively cash-market territory — conventional financing is unlikely on a bank REO.
Queens — five new listings
130-21 140th Street, Jamaica, Queens NY 11436
130-21 140th St is a large multi-family property, 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 5,018 sqft, built 1989, on Auction.com (listing #2074691).14 Opening bid: TBD. Zillow estimates the property at $1,100,000.15 At 5,018 sqft, this is the largest property by square footage in today's new listings. If the opening bid clears below $700K, the implied discount would exceed 36% against the Zillow figure.
Risk flags:
- Opening bid unpublished. Post-bid check is mandatory before any decision.
- Occupancy status unconfirmed. A 6-bedroom multi-family in Jamaica is likely occupied; holdover proceedings represent the primary timeline risk.
- 5,018 sqft carries higher deferred maintenance exposure. Larger properties accumulate larger repair backlogs; budget for a thorough pre-bid scope inspection (noting that interior access is typically unavailable before auction close).
- Lien and case background unconfirmed.
255-31 149th Road, Rosedale, Queens NY 11422
255-31 149th Rd is on Auction.com (listing #2075666) with an opening bid of $477,500.16 Property type, square footage, and bedroom count were not retrievable from publicly available data at research time. No Zillow or StreetEasy estimate is available for this specific address, so no discount figure can be calculated. Rosedale is a low-density residential neighborhood in southeastern Queens; single-family homes in 11422 generally trade in the $500K–$750K range, which would make a $477,500 opening bid either at-market or a modest discount — not a standout deal without more data.
Risk flags:
- Property details unconfirmed. Verify property type, sqft, and bedrooms directly on the Auction.com listing before committing any research time.
- No independent market estimate. Run neighborhood comps on StreetEasy or Redfin for Rosedale 11422 to establish a discount baseline.
- Cash only, Special Warranty Deed.
- Lien and case background unconfirmed.
16 West 14th Road, Far Rockaway, Queens NY 11693
16 W 14th Rd is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom single-family home, 747 sqft, on a 0.06-acre lot, bank-owned, on Auction.com (listing #2076162).17 Opening bid: $175,000 — the lowest confirmed opening bid in today's batch. No Zillow estimate is available for this address. Far Rockaway single-family homes of similar size have sold in the $280K–$380K range in recent transactions; if the subject property falls in that band, the implied discount could be 35–54%. That range is speculative without a verified comparable.
Risk flags:
- Far Rockaway FEMA flood zone exposure. This is the same concern as 2261 Loretta Rd (listed in Watch Updates below). Confirm the specific parcel's flood zone on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before bidding — flood zone AE properties in Far Rockaway require federally mandated flood insurance, which adds $2,000–$5,000+/year to holding costs.
- 747 sqft limits resale demand. Very small single-family homes have a narrower buyer pool and face conventional mortgage minimum square footage constraints ($500–600 sqft threshold at many lenders — this property marginally clears that bar, but individual lender policies vary).
- No confirmed EMV. The discount figure is speculative until comps are verified.
- Occupancy and case background unconfirmed.
14666 222nd Street, Rosedale, Queens NY 11413
14666 222nd St is a 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom multi-family property with a full basement, on Auction.com (listing #2075675).18 Opening bid: TBD. No Zillow estimate available. The property details (square footage, year built, price) could not be retrieved from publicly accessible data; the Auction.com listing page timed out during the research window.
Given the data limitations, this listing is low-confidence until independently verified. Do not use today's entry as an investment basis; check the live Auction.com listing directly.
Risk flags:
- Most data unconfirmed. Square footage, opening bid, EMV, occupancy, and lien status are all unknown.
- 6-bedroom multi-family occupancy risk. As noted for 831 Jennings and 130-21 140th St: large multi-family units in Queens are typically occupied. Budget for holdover proceedings.
110-34 166th Street, Jamaica, Queens NY 11433 — do not bid without verification
This listing is flagged as data-quality uncertain. 110-34 166th St appears on ServiceLinkAuction (a platform separate from Auction.com, specializing in servicer-directed REO disposals) with a listed starting bid of $25,000 — a figure so far below market for a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom, 1,719 sqft single-family in Jamaica that it requires explanation before being treated as a real opening bid.19 Three possibilities: (a) the $25K figure is a starting bid for a tax lien certificate, not the full property; (b) the listing is a data entry error; (c) the listing has already sold and the snapshot is stale. The ServiceLinkAuction detail page was not accessible for independent verification.
The May 20 issue of this series tracked this property at a different starting bid ($315,000 on a different snapshot) — the discrepancy has not been resolved.
Risk flags:
- $25K starting bid is unverified and internally inconsistent with prior data. Treat as suspect until confirmed directly on ServiceLinkAuction.com.
- Do not bid based on today's entry. Verify current listing status, starting bid, auction type, and platform terms directly on ServiceLinkAuction.com before taking any action.
- Occupied property. Prior data indicated owner or tenant occupancy.
Watch-list updates
625 Lenox Road, Flatbush, Brooklyn NY 11203 — price cut 40.5%, auction opens May 25
625 Lenox Rd has been re-listed on Auction.com for the third time (listing #2075554), with the opening bid cut from $462,500 to $275,000 — a reduction of $187,500 (40.5%).20 The property is a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom single-family row house, 3,010 sqft, built 1940. The new auction window opens May 25, 2026 at 5:00 a.m. PDT (8:00 a.m. ET) and closes May 27.21
This property has now gone unsold through at least two prior auction cycles. The price cut signals the bank is motivated to move the asset, but the persistent failure to attract a closing bid also raises questions about condition. The listing acknowledges unknown roof condition and unknown plumbing scope — both are the buyer's responsibility after closing.
Risk flags:
- Three-listing history without a sale. Repeated unsold auctions suggest either a condition problem not visible in photos, a title complication, or pricing still above what informed buyers will pay even at $275K.
- Roof and plumbing condition unknown. These are among the most expensive systems to repair; budget $30K–$80K+ for contingency without an interior inspection.
- Bank Owned REO, cash only. Special Warranty Deed; title insurance mandatory.
- Occupancy status. 3,010 sqft row house in Flatbush — verify vacancy before bidding.
820 Edison Avenue, Throgs Neck, Bronx NY 10465 — auction closes today, still zero bids
820 Edison Ave's Auction.com auction (listing #2065169) opened May 19 and closes today, May 21, 2026. As of this morning's research snapshot, the current bid remains TBD — zero bids recorded.22 The property is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom bank REO row house, 1,844 sqft, built 1920, in Throgs Neck. Auction.com's platform estimate is $834,092 and the Zillow Zestimate is $871,000 — but the opening bid has not been published, making the discount unquantifiable.
If you are considering a last-minute bid: the opening bid must be confirmed on the live listing page before the auction closes. The auction end time is 5:00 a.m. PDT (8:00 a.m. ET) on May 21; depending on when you read this, the window may already be closed. Zero bids so far means no competition, but also means the market has not found this property attractive at whatever undisclosed opening bid the bank has set.
Risk flags:
- Opening bid still unpublished as of this morning. This is unusual for a listing this close to close; the bank may be running a sealed-bid style process.
- No prior bid activity despite 118 days on the platform suggests the opening bid may be set above what buyers are willing to pay.
- 1920 construction with all associated age-risk (lead paint, cast-iron plumbing, aging electrical).
- Auction may already be closed by the time you read this. Check the listing before any action.
2261 Loretta Road, Far Rockaway, Queens NY 11691 — confirmed listing, auction May 24–26
Previously unconfirmed, 2261 Loretta Rd is now confirmed live on Auction.com (listing #2074530) with an opening bid of $100,000, auction window May 24–26, 2026.23 The property is vacant land, 0.076 acres, R4-1 zoning. A prior MLS listing for the same lot was withdrawn at $264,900 after 108+ days on market. No Auction.com EMV is published. A 5% buyer's premium applies.
This listing carries the same FEMA flood zone risk noted for 16 W 14th Rd above. Far Rockaway vacant land is low-retail-demand; the 108-day prior MLS history at $264,900 is a meaningful data point. At a $100K opening bid, the implied discount to the prior asking price is ~62% — but that's against an asking price that found no retail buyer, not a confirmed sale comp.
Risk flags: Vacant land buildability risk (verify utility access, setback requirements, NYC DOB records), flood zone exposure, limited retail buyer pool. See the May 20 issue for full risk detail on this property.
1183 Grenada Place, Bronx NY 10466 — confirmed listing, auction May 24–26, EMV $565K
Previously unconfirmed, 1183 Grenada Pl is now confirmed live on Auction.com (listing #2074528), auction window May 24–26, 2026, bank-owned REO.24 Auction.com's published EMV is $565,494. Opening bid has not been posted; check the listing 24–48 hours before May 24 for the published figure. Once the opening bid is posted, this listing's discount profile will be calculable against the $565K EMV anchor.
167 East 61st Street Apt 28E, Upper East Side, Manhattan — no change, auction May 24–26
167 E 61st St Apt 28E (Auction.com listing #2073880) remains live with an opening bid of $782,500, auction opening May 24–26, 2026.25 No changes to the listing since the May 20 issue. This is a co-op unit (not a condo), meaning co-op board approval is required post-auction — a winning bid on Auction.com does not guarantee transfer of the proprietary lease. Full risk detail is in the May 20 issue.
1093 East 72nd Street #13, Canarsie, Brooklyn — reserve not met, auction ended
The Auction.com auction for 1093 E 72nd St #13 closed May 20, 2026 with a Reserve Not Met result — no bid reached the seller's undisclosed reserve price.26 The $95,000 opening bid did not attract a qualifying offer. The property may be re-listed at a lower reserve or returned to the bank's REO portfolio; monitor Auction.com for a new listing number.
Data limitations
These gaps apply across today's listings:
- Seven of eleven new opening bids are unpublished. Auction.com withholds opening bids until 24–48 hours before the auction start — this is standard platform behavior, not a data quality issue.
- Occupancy status unconfirmed for all eleven new listings. Treat every foreclosure auction property as potentially occupied until independently verified. NYC Housing Court holdover proceedings for occupied foreclosure purchases typically run 3–12 months.
- Lien priority and foreclosure case background unavailable across all new listings. ACRIS (acris.nyc.gov) and NYSCEF (iapps.courts.state.ny.us) title searches are mandatory before any bid. Both are free and publicly accessible.
- Auction.com detail pages remain partially inaccessible due to JavaScript rendering constraints. EMV, exact auction end times, and current bid status were sourced from Zillow, Trulia, and Google search snippets where Auction.com pages were not directly renderable. Verify all figures on the live listing before bidding.
- 110-34 166th St $25K starting bid is unverified and inconsistent with prior research data. Do not treat it as a confirmed opening bid.
