The last public administrator’s auction I attended was in Manhattan, and the buyers (in one instance, a single bidder) did very well. So, it may well be worth going to the Brooklyn event if any of the properties might interest you.
195 Willoughby Ave. in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
You’ll need to take with you a certified or bank check of 10 percent of the opening bid payable either to you or to “Public Administrator of Kings County” as well as a blank check to pay the balance of the purchase price.
And if you’re concerned about buying a co-op and board approval, no need to worry. The purchase will be subject to board approval, meaning that sale will be void and you’ll get your money back in the event of a turndown.
For additional details, check out the PDFs on the public administrator’s Web site, which, alas, has no photos or more information about the properties.
