This 3,400-square-foot house at 445 East 19th Street is one of the more charming places we’ve seen come up for foreclosure auction. According to Property Shark, the house was landmarked back in 1982, though we’re not sure whether it was individually landmarked or part of a neighborhood designation. (Anyone know?) The owner currently owes the bank $591,294. As a result, the house is scheduled to be auctioned off on Thursday at 3 p.m. at 360 Adams Street, Room 274.

  1. You can find the properties the old-fashioned way by going to the county clerk’s office and looking at the notices for homes whose mortagage holders have filed suit to foreclose called ‘lis pendens’ or the notices for the homes where the court has okayed the foreclosures.

    However, now people who are interested in obtaining this information just subscribe to a service that provides this information, which is extracted from the court public records, on-line.

  2. Whenever I see the “Foreclosure of the Week” post, I wonder how the people who live in these homes feel about having their home featured. I know that this information is public record anyway, but once it appears on a blog, it is as though it is being posted in the town square.

    We all tend to think that something like this could never happen to us. I am sure that these homeowners thought the same.

    I wish the family well, however this turns out.

  3. Does anyone besides me remember I DP house featured on Brownstoner about a year ago that was also a forclosure… Yes! The house on Ocean Avenue – big brick house with columns. It was supposed to go on the block and was pulled at the last minute. Not sure how/why.
