3,600-square-foot, three-family Gowanus building goes to auction on July 25, 2019 with a lien of $1,158,750. The auction is scheduled to take place at 2:30 PM at 360 Adams Street, Room 224, Brooklyn, New York.
14 Saint Mark’s Place is a three-family that was last purchased in 2006 for $1,287,500. The buy was financed with two mortgages, both secured through Wall Street Mortgage Bankers Ltd. in the amounts of $1,000,000 and $158,750. Both mortgages were later assigned to the plaintiff in the foreclosure, U.S. Bank National Association.
A lis pendens was first filed against the property in 2008 by U.S. Bank N.A. for the amount of $1,158,750. It was renewed in 2011, 2014, and 2017. The currently active lis pendens was filed in April 2017 and remains active, thus leading to the foreclosure of the property. The foreclosure judgment was handed down in December 2018 for a lien of $1,783,164. The property was previously scheduled for auction on July 26, 2018 and December 6, 2018.
A Comps search shows that the estimated value of the property is $3,484,800. This was determined by looking at a dozen other properties of the same property class (C0) that have recently sold within a three-quarter mile radius of the property. The three-story row house was built in 1910, and boasts a full above-grade basement. Just minutes from the 4th Avenue & Pacific Street Station, 14 Saint Mark’s Place enjoys swift access to the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, R and Q lines.
