NYC foreclosure radar: August 3, 2026 - fresh lien signals, no defensible discount leader

The strongest new signal is a lien problem, not a discount

Coverage window: July 27, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. through August 3, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., using the channel display time zone (-05:00).

The clearest newly dated record is a Brooklyn property in ZIP 11207, East New York, added to PropertyShark's public foreclosure list on July 31. It is described as a two-family brick building with 2,000 square feet and a $54,600 NYC assessed value. The same record shows a $797,090 lien, an August 6 auction at 2:30 p.m. New York time, and U.S. Bank as plaintiff. That is 1:30 p.m. in the channel display time zone. The street address is locked on the public page, and the opening bid, occupancy, index number, and full title record are not exposed. 1

The lien is not a sale price or a market-value estimate. It is a reason to pull the judgment and a current title search before spending time on the property. This row is a due-diligence lead, not a bargain candidate.

No listing cleared the basic discount test this week. The calculation is 1 - opening bid / same-property value; without both numbers tied to the same address, the discount is n/a.

Action board

The rows below are ranked by how much they change a bidder's next action: newly dated records with a concrete lien or foreclosure-type signal come first, followed by records whose timing is useful but whose address or price fields are incomplete. None is a verified discount.

Rank	Property signal	Auction timing	Opening bid	Value anchor	Discount	Risk flag	Source
1	Brooklyn 11207, East New York; 2-family brick, 2,000 sq ft; added Jul. 31	Aug. 6, 1:30 p.m. channel time	n/a	$54,600 assessed	n/a	$797,090 lien; occupancy, title priority, index and exact address not public	PropertyShark Brooklyn
2	Staten Island 10304, Stapleton; 2-family converted from one family, 1,414 sq ft; added Jul. 30	Sep. 3, 9:00 a.m. channel time	n/a	$27,540 assessed	n/a	$665,896 lien; mortgage foreclosure; occupancy, title priority, index and exact address not public	PropertyShark Staten Island
3	Manhattan 10021, Lenox Hill; 2,980 sq ft, one-unit record; added Jul. 31	Sep. 1, 1:15 p.m. channel time	n/a	$551,842 assessed	n/a	Condo common-charge foreclosure; $251,392 lien; property class is shown as office space; exact address and occupancy not public	PropertyShark NYC foreclosure list

5	Manhattan 10019, Theatre District; retail-space record, 4,662 sq ft; added Jul. 31	Sep. 1, 1:15 p.m. channel time	n/a	$4,768,515 assessed	n/a	$158,741,982 lien; mortgage foreclosure; commercial-looking record, not a normal homebuyer lead	PropertyShark Manhattan

The PropertyShark pages mask street addresses and state that their data comes from government sources without validating it. Treat the ZIP, neighborhood, building class, assessed value, lien, plaintiff, and date-added fields as screening data. They do not replace the court notice, judgment, referee's terms, or a title report. 2

The price signal that still does not qualify

The current indexed Auction.com record for 14666 222nd Street in Rosedale still shows a $425,873 opening bid and Bank Owned status. The same-address detail snippet does not expose a market-value figure. A separate nearby-card snippet shows $1,027,168, but the address and value are not presented as one clean field pair, so that number is not used here. The accessible record also does not establish occupancy, surviving liens, taxes, condition, or buyer charges. 3

That is a materially useful update to watch, not a verified 58.5% discount. The Auction.com detail page is not exposing enough of the record to support the arithmetic. The same rule applies to any opening bid or value that appears in a neighboring search card: if the address is not attached to the field, leave the discount blank.

Calendar watch: exact addresses, no price

Roach & Lin's August page was updated July 30, 2026 at 4:26 p.m. in the channel display time zone. It names current court-sale entries in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Its entries do not include opening bids, appraisals, occupancy status, or a complete lien-priority analysis. The times below convert the page's New York local time to the channel display time zone. Re-check the live page and the referee's notice before treating any date as final. 4

Borough	Property and case	Auction timing and venue	What is still missing
Brooklyn	446 Kingston Avenue A18, Brooklyn, NY 11225; co-op	Aug. 6, 11:45 a.m.; outside Kings County Supreme Court, 360 Adams St.	Bid, assessed/appraised value, occupancy, lien priority and index number
Brooklyn	45 Paerdegat 14th St a/k/a 1416/1424 East 80th St, Brooklyn, NY 11236; index 519061/2024	Aug. 6, 1:30 p.m.; Room 224, Kings County Supreme Court	Bid, value, occupancy, title exceptions and lien survival
Manhattan	163 East 64th Street, New York, NY 10021; index 159315/2017	Aug. 11, 1:15 p.m.; Room 252, New York County Courthouse	Bid, value, occupancy, title exceptions and lien survival
Manhattan	7 W 131st Street, Unit A3 and A-Stor-3, New York, NY 10037; index 850137/2024	Aug. 25, 1:15 p.m.; Room 252, New York County Courthouse	Bid, value, occupancy, co-op/condo charges and title priority
Queens	218-19 134th Road, 2nd Floor, Springfield Gardens, NY 11413; index 704162/2019	Aug. 21, 9:00 a.m.; Queens County Supreme Court, 88-11 Sutphin Blvd.	Bid, value, occupancy, title exceptions and lien survival
Queens	148-16 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, Rockaway Park, NY 11694; index 706830/2023	Aug. 21, 9:00 a.m.; Queens County Supreme Court	Bid, value, occupancy, title exceptions and lien survival
Queens	11632 139th Street, Jamaica, NY 11436; index 716093/2023	Aug. 21, 9:00 a.m.; Queens County Supreme Court	Bid, value, occupancy, title exceptions and lien survival
Staten Island	266 Westervelt Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301; index 135073/2024	Aug. 20, 9:00 a.m.; Room 112, Richmond County Courthouse	Bid, value, occupancy, title exceptions and lien survival
Staten Island	20 Prices Lane, Staten Island, NY 10314; index 135016/2025	Aug. 20, 9:00 a.m.; Room 112, Richmond County Courthouse	Bid, value, occupancy, title exceptions and lien survival

The page also lists 446 Kingston Avenue as a co-op. That label matters: a bidder needs the proprietary lease, building financials, maintenance or common-charge arrears, and the sale terms before comparing it with a one- to four-family property. None of those fields is published in this calendar entry. 4

Borough coverage and the missing Bronx record

This week's public records produced new dated rows in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, plus a refreshed court calendar with named Queens entries. I did not find a Bronx record that both falls inside the July 27-August 3 date-added window and exposes enough information to verify it as a new listing. The most recent named Bronx entry in the refreshed July calendar is 3063 Henry Hudson Parkway, dated July 20; it is outside this issue's window and is not counted as a new lead. 5

The public ServiceLink properties page exposed filters but no verifiable New York City property card in the readable results, so it adds no row to this issue. 6

Before a bidder spends money

Identify the property. Do not rely on a ZIP code or a blurred address. Obtain the full notice of sale, block and lot, index number, and referee's terms.
Separate the numbers. An assessed value is not an appraisal, an opening bid is not a reserve, and a lien amount is not a bid ceiling. Calculate a discount only after the two compared fields are tied to the same property.
Pull the title chain. Check the foreclosure judgment, senior mortgages, municipal charges, tax liens, judgments, mechanic's liens, condo or co-op charges, and any notice of pendency. The source pages above do not establish which liens survive.
Plan for possession. None of the newly dated PropertyShark rows exposes occupancy. An occupied or inaccessible property changes the legal timeline and carrying-cost budget; treat occupancy as unknown until verified through lawful due diligence.
Reconfirm the sale. Roach & Lin marks cancelled and postponed sales on its calendar. Confirm the date, venue, deposit, payment method, buyer charges, and any financing restriction immediately before bidding. 4

This week's action order is therefore simple: use the Brooklyn 11207 and Staten Island 10304 records to prioritize title and judgment work, use the named August court entries to schedule verification, and do not call any row a bargain until a same-address bid-and-value pair appears. There is no defensible discount leader in the July 27-August 3 public record.
