One of only a handful of Manhattan foreclosures, 20 West St #PH-F was purchased in May 2007 for $465,000. The buyer took out two mortgages at the time of purchase, an acquisition for $372,000 and another for $46,450, for a total finance amount of $418,450. Both mortgages were secured through Washington Mutual Bank, FA and later assigned to U.S. Bank National Association.
A lis pendens was first filed against the property in 2012 by U.S. Bank NA for $418,450. It was renewed in 2018 and remains active, thus leading to the foreclosure of the property. The property is currently set to go to auction on October 10th. It was previously scheduled for auction in December 2017.
