New York City Property Seizure Class Action Settlement
City of New York · Third-party transfer property seizure program · Settlement Reached
About this case
The lawsuit alleges that New York City’s third-party transfer program improperly seized properties, including from Black and Latino homeowners, without providing constitutionally required compensation for the owners’ equity. The parties have agreed to a $60 million settlement covering properties seized during the program’s 2017 and 2018 round, but the settlement still requires approval by a federal judge.
