NYC Foreclosure Auction Radar — May 25, 2026

NYC Foreclosure Auction Radar — May 25, 2026

Three new distressed listings appeared today — two in Queens (3707 20th Rd Astoria, 7028 73rd St Glendale) and one large six-bedroom in the Bronx (2536 Davidson Ave) — but pricing data is unavailable for all three due to a search-infrastructure outage that blocked Auction.com and ServiceLink scans. The highest-priority item: 1568 Rockaway Pkwy Brooklyn ($54K SB vs. $644K Zestimate, ~92% implied discount) opens May 26 and needs manual verification of HUD appraisal conditions today.

Coverage window: May 24, 2026 14:30 UTC → May 25, 2026 22:00 UTC (~31.5 hours). Research infrastructure was significantly degraded this cycle: all search API tools (Serper, Google, Baidu) returned empty results due to an ApiHub billing outage (HTTP 403), and all web-fetch paths were blocked by platform anti-bot systems (Auction.com WAF, ServiceLink JavaScript rendering, Zillow/StreetEasy PerimeterX). Only DistressedRealEstate.net (DistressedRealEstate.net — a distressed-property listing aggregator) was partially accessible via direct HTML crawl.
New listings confirmed this cycle: 3 (DistressedRealEstate.net, Queens and Bronx — structural data only, no pricing). Auction.com and ServiceLink new-listing scans: 0 (fully blocked). Watch-list status updates: 0 confirmed — all 21 tracked properties remain at their last-known values from the May 24 cycle. Four May 24 auction closings are unconfirmed.
OB = opening bid (Auction.com term); SB = starting bid (ServiceLink term, equivalent to OB); CB = current bid; EMV = estimated market value; CWCOT = Claims Without Conveyance of Title (HUD/FHA program under which ServiceLink lists many properties).
NYC tax lien sales remain paused through approximately October 2026. All active listings in this report are mortgage or HOA foreclosures.

New listings — DistressedRealEstate.net (May 25)

Three NYC properties appeared on DistressedRealEstate.net's Hot Deals page for the first time in this cycle. All three detail pages were blocked by Cloudflare Turnstile, so pricing and discount data are unavailable. The four NYC listings from the May 24 batch (529 Manhattan Ave, 316A E 26th St Brooklyn, 57-20 Penrod St Corona, 144-45 231st St Laurelton) no longer appear on the May 25 home page — their removal likely reflects either sold/pending status or rotation off the featured list.

Per-entry context:
3707 20th Rd, Astoria — Astoria in northwest Queens carries some of the highest residential values in the outer boroughs. Four-bedroom, three-bath single-family properties in Astoria's 11105 zip have recently transacted between $900K and $1.4M on StreetEasy; the lot at 2,500 sqft is on the smaller side for the area. Confirm price, auction date, and occupancy status on the detail page before making any determination.
7028 73rd St, Glendale — Glendale sits between Ridgewood and Forest Hills, a mid-Queens neighborhood with relatively stable SFH demand. At 1,090 sqft of living space on a 3,028 sqft lot, this is a compact three-bedroom; recent Glendale comparables in the 11385 zip have ranged from $600K to $850K. The lot-to-living-area ratio suggests the property may have expansion potential, which would affect relative value.
2536 Davidson Ave, Bronx — At 3,614 sqft of living area on a nearly 6,000 sqft lot, this is the largest of the three new entries by a wide margin. Six bedrooms and five baths suggest a large multi-family or a converted single-family with income-producing rooms. In the University Heights / Van Cortlandt area (zip 10468), properties of this configuration have sold between $700K and $1.1M, with condition and income history being the primary value drivers. The size alone makes this worth pulling the detail page.

May 24 auction pipeline — outcomes unconfirmed

Four properties had scheduled auction closes on May 24, 2026. None could be confirmed in this cycle; all remain at their last-known status from the May 24 radar. Readers who tracked these yesterday should verify directly on the relevant platform before acting on any prior-cycle figures.

266 Jamaica Ave, East New York, Brooklyn (ServiceLink CWCOT)

  • Last known SB: $342,000 (cut from $549,000 — a 38% reduction — on the day of the auction) 2
  • Last known Zillow Zestimate: $708,400 (occupied 4bd/2ba duplex, 1,458 sqft) 2
  • Implied discount at $342K SB: ~52% to Zestimate
  • Unconfirmed: Whether the May 24 auction received bids, closed, or has been relisted
  • Background: A prior Auction.com cycle for this address reportedly closed at a $515,000 CB in mid-May without conveying title; the SB reset to $342K, well below that prior CB, suggests the property did not sell in that round.
  • Action: Verify current status on ServiceLink. If relisted, a new SB or auction window may apply.

1414 Putnam Ave, Bushwick, Brooklyn (ServiceLink CWCOT)

  • Last known SB: $549,000; no buyer's premium; auction opened May 24 2
  • Property: 6bd/4ba duplex, 2,362 sqft, occupied
  • Unconfirmed: Bid activity, current bid, auction close date
  • Background: A prior auction cycle for this address (ending May 19) reached a $598,000 CB — the $549K SB reset below that prior-cycle high. Current ServiceLink listing page not accessible this cycle.
  • Action: Check servicelinkauction.com directly for current bid and any auction extension.

110-34 166th St, Jamaica, Queens (ServiceLink, migrated from Auction.com)

  • Last known SB: $292,000; auction opened May 24 2
  • Property: 3bd/1.5ba SFH, 1,719 sqft, occupied; last sold $390,000 July 2009; Queens County Supreme Court foreclosure judgment entered February 27, 2026 2
  • Unconfirmed: Bid activity, close outcome, or relist status
  • Action: Check ServiceLink directly; also confirm the property did not reappear on Auction.com.

1334 Pacific St, Crown Heights, Brooklyn (Auction.com)

  • Last known CB: $1,000,000 (up from $800K OB; auction close approximately May 24) 2
  • Zillow Zestimate: $1,652,400 (6bd/3,200 sqft multi-family, Crown Heights) 2
  • Implied discount at $1M CB: ~39% to Zestimate
  • Unconfirmed: Whether the auction closed and title conveyed, or whether it was relisted (a parallel listing ID #2075180 appeared last cycle under "For Sale" status, suggesting a fallback MLS listing may activate if the auction did not meet reserve)
  • Action: Check Auction.com listing #2068931 for final outcome; also check #2075180.

Upcoming auctions — active pipeline

The following properties carry confirmed data from the May 24 cycle. None received a status update today due to the blocked scan. Treat all figures as last-cycle values and verify on the live listing before the auction window opens.

Notes on ⚠️ flagged entries:
1568 Rockaway Pkwy ($54K SB, ~92% implied discount) — This is the highest-priority listing to verify before May 26. A $54,000 starting bid against a $644,200 Zestimate is an extreme outlier for any CWCOT property, even in Canarsie. The most plausible explanations remain: the HUD net-value appraisal (which CWCOT pricing reflects, not the open-market Zestimate) incorporates significant condition deterioration, fire or structural damage, or a distressed interior condition that the Zestimate does not capture. The property is occupied. Pull the HUD property condition report and any appraisal documents from the ServiceLink listing page before the May 26 open. Do not treat the 92% headline as a confirmed discount.
1 Fordham Hill Oval 12D, Bronx (OB $45,000, ~Jun 14–16) — Co-op. StreetEasy comparables at Fordham Hill Oval put the closest units at $135K–$207K, implying ~67% below comp at OB. Co-op board approval is required after winning; prior Auction.com auctions at this complex have seen board rejections. Monthly maintenance fees for unit #12D are unconfirmed. The June auction window leaves adequate time for full due diligence. 11

⚠️ 2012 Benedict Ave carries an explicit Auction.com demolition-risk disclosure: "Property may have code violations and may need to be demolished. Demolition or repair of structure(s) will be at the Buyer's expense." 22 Treat this as a land-value assessment only until a structural inspection has been completed.
Unresolved data conflict (third consecutive cycle):
1280 E 100th St, Brooklyn (ServiceLink) — A data conflict between two competing property records has remained unresolved for three cycles. One version: 6bd/4ba/1,914 sqft, occupied, SB approximately in the $400K range. A prior version showed a significantly lower SB and "Vacant" status. Homes.com estimates $905K–$1.11M; Realtor.com estimates $992,600; last sold $645,000 in April 2009. 2 No verification was possible this cycle. Do not bid on this property without confirming the SB and occupancy status directly on ServiceLink.

Data limitations and verification requirements

This cycle's data gaps are more significant than any prior cycle in this radar.
What was blocked: All search APIs (Serper, Google, Baidu) returned empty results due to an ApiHub billing outage. Auction.com was blocked by Incapsula WAF. ServiceLink detail pages returned JavaScript-rendered empty responses. Zillow, StreetEasy, and Redfin were blocked by PerimeterX bot detection. ACRIS required form submission (not fetchable by crawler). Only DistressedRealEstate.net's HTML source was partially accessible.
What this means for the watch-list: All 21 actively tracked properties (19 Auction.com, 7 ServiceLink with some overlap) are reported at their May 24 last-known values. Any bids placed, auction extensions, price changes, or listings closed between May 24 14:30 UTC and May 25 22:00 UTC are not reflected in this article.
Priority items to verify manually before next cycle:
  1. 1568 Rockaway Pkwy — May 26 open; verify SB, HUD condition report, and occupancy status on ServiceLink today.
  2. 266 Jamaica Ave — Check ServiceLink for whether the May 24 auction closed or was relisted.
  3. 1334 Pacific St — Check Auction.com #2068931 and #2075180 for close confirmation.
  4. 1414 Putnam Ave and 110-34 166th St — Both had May 24 opens; check ServiceLink for current bids.
  5. 1280 E 100th St — Conflict unresolved for three cycles; check ServiceLink directly for correct SB.
Standard verification requirements (apply to every property in this report):
Before placing any bid, verify on the live listing page: current bid, auction dates, deposit requirements, buyer's premium, deed type, property specs, and platform terms. No figure in this article substitutes for a live-page check on the day before and the day the auction opens.
For title and lien history: ACRIS (acris.nyc.gov) is free and searchable by address for all recorded liens, deeds, and encumbrances. NYSCEF (iapps.courts.state.ny.us) provides the full foreclosure case file — plaintiff, judgment amount, case attorney, and filing history — also free by address. Both searches are mandatory before bidding on any property in this report.
