But for far too many homeowners, many of whom should never have been on the list in the first place, it carries devastating consequences,\u201d <strong>said Edwards<\/strong>. \u201cThe tax lien sale needs to be completely overhauled to protect New Yorkers who may be on the financial brink, and until it is, the city and state must put a moratorium on any future sales.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1348\" data-end=\"1747\">The New York City Department of Finance recently released the 90-day lien sale list, which includes properties with unpaid sewer and property tax debt. If left unpaid, this debt can be sold off to out-of-state private collectors for a fraction of its value. These companies are known to use aggressive, predatory tactics to collect on the debt, often pushing homeowners into foreclosure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1971\">This year\u2019s sale would be the first since 2021, following a pandemic-related pause under then-Governor Cuomo and former Mayor de Blasio. Now, over 3,400 Brooklyn one- and two-family homes are on the chopping block.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"2013\"><strong data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"2013\">A Crisis of Communication and Equity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2121\">Legal experts say the lien sale disproportionately impacts communities of color and low-income homeowners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2123\" data-end=\"2457\">\u201cOne in eight homeowners is at risk of foreclosure,\u201d said <strong data-start=\"2181\" data-end=\"2204\">Afia Sengupta, Esq.<\/strong> \u201cThe tax lien sale is exacerbating this issue and threatening generational equity for thousands of Brooklyn families. I think it is important that the Governor and Mayor hear Khari\u2019s call and follow this precedent by cancelling the upcoming lien sale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2459\" data-end=\"2666\">Edwards says a major part of the problem is lack of awareness and poor communication from city agencies. Many homeowners don\u2019t even know they\u2019re on the lien list\u2014or that they\u2019re eligible for protections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2668\" data-end=\"3089\">\u201cThere are resources available to help homeowners who should not be wrapped up in this process, but that information is not being communicated to the public,\u201d Edwards explained. \u201cWe have time before the lien sale, so I\u2019m going to be knocking on doors and helping folks avoid the lien sale. I\u2019m urging BP Reynoso to join me in raising the volume on this issue and contacting his constituents who might be at-risk as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3091\" data-end=\"3132\"><strong data-start=\"3091\" data-end=\"3132\">Protecting Those Who Should Be Exempt<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3134\" data-end=\"3455\">By law, homeowners who qualify for programs like the Senior Citizen Homeowners Exemption, Veterans Homeowners Exemption, or the Disabled Homeowners Exemption should not be included in lien sales. However, these exemptions must be proactively applied for\u2014and many eligible residents are unaware of the requirement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3457\" data-end=\"3844\">\u201cMany homeowners are unaware that this is happening or that they owe any debt to the city. Seniors, veterans, and disabled homeowners often don\u2019t realize they are supposed to be protected from this entirely,\u201d said Edwards. \u201cThis lack of awareness is a result of the government\u2019s failure to communicate with the public and help homeowners avoid potential displacement and financial ruin.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3846\" data-end=\"3872\"><strong data-start=\"3846\" data-end=\"3872\">A Blueprint for Reform<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3874\" data-end=\"4221\">To address the issue long-term, the Khari Edwards campaign has rolled out a policy framework aimed at reforming the lien sale program. Among the proposals: automatic enrollment for those who qualify for exemptions, expanded protections for low-income families, all veteran homeowners, and those who are unemployed or underemployed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4223\" data-end=\"4419\">In the short term, Edwards and his team have already begun canvassing homes on the lien list, providing residents with resources and information to keep their properties off the auction block.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4421\" data-end=\"4610\">As East New York continues to see development pressure and rising property values, Edwards\u2019 rallying cry is rooted in preserving the community for those who have called it home for decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4612\" data-end=\"4764\">\u201cThis is personal. It\u2019s about my mother, but it\u2019s also about thousands of Brooklyn families just like mine,\u201d he said. \u201cThis should never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the heart of Brooklyn, where brownstones and row houses have been passed down for generations, a battle is brewing over property rights\u2014and the stakes are sky-high.
