Attorney General James joins effort to halt NYC tax lien sale
New York Attorney General Letitia James has joined a growing coalition of elected officials urging New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to remove small properties from the city’s tax lien sale.
The annual sale, in which private servicing companies purchase property tax debt, will take place Sept. 4 after the May 15 date was postponed.
In a letter Aug. 30, James and 57 other elected officials called on the city to remove 4,700 residential properties consisting of three or fewer units.
