66-11 74th Street in Middle Village, Queens is a two-family home built around 1930. It was inherited by its current owner in May 2013. Following the inheritance, the owner took out a mortgage of $350,000 from Velocity Commercial Capital in November 2014.
A lis pendens was filed against the property in March 2016 by Velocity Commercial Capital for the amount of $350,000. It remains active until March 2019, thus leading to the foreclosure of the property. A foreclosure judgement was handed down in October 2017 for a lien of $428,918. The auction is set for December 14, 2018, a postponement from the original auction date of October 5, 2018.
