I admit it: I failed

Because I couldn’t get to yesterday’s auction of estate properties by the King’s County public administrator, I thought I’d call today to get the results for the edification of my readers.

Good luck!

Here’s your chance to bid on a Brooklyn property

Co-operative building at 160 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn.

The King’s County public administrator is auctioning off 17 properties with minimum bids ranging from $50,000 for vacant land to as much as $1.8 million for a townhouse.

The auction will take place on May 4 at 2 p.m. in State Supreme Court, 360 Adams Street.  But you have to be there by 12:45.

Inspection of the properties will be May 1 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and May 2 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
