The city council and mayor’s office are pushing this bold move, which aims to buy up tax and water liens, offer payment plans, and even take over neglected properties — all to prevent foreclosures and preserve affordable housing. This shift comes amid a lawsuit from homeowners who lost their homes under the old system, and it marks a major victory for advocates who’ve long demanded reform. With a state approval deadline looming and a powerful board of housing experts in place, the land bank could reshape how New York handles tax debt and property neglect — turning a broken system into a tool for equity and stability.
