Foreclosure of Tax Lien Certificate

Bennett profile photo

This deal is going to auction soon, so time is of the essence. I'll appreciate any quick replies.

I found a condo that had a judgement on it as of May 2000. It went for auction the first time in July 2001. It did not sell then. I'm assuming it was taken out of the auction because the block & lot number listed was wrong.

The property now has a "Foreclosure of tax lien certificate" which I'm assuming means that someone had a tax lien on this property and now wants to be cash in.

Questions:
1) This is NY State - 18% - has the property been racking up tax lien interest since May 2000?

2) Is the new buyer responsible for all the back taxes & condo common charges?

3) Who legally owns this property now that I can deal with - the tax lien holder ? - or can I go to the original owner and try to get it before it goes to auction?

Thanks, Bennett
