TROY, NY – In response to the City’s successful foreclosed property open house event held last summer, Mayor Patrick Madden today announced the City of Troy will open to the public 14 city-owned foreclosed properties currently available for sale through the City Assessor’s office. The annual open house event will be held during two sessions on Tuesday, July 24, from 9:00am until 10:30am, and 11:00am until 12:30pm.

Mayor Madden said, “The resale of foreclosed properties not only restores buildings to active use which helps stabilize Troy neighborhoods impacted by blight and vacancy, it expands the local tax base and provides new revenue to the city. The popularity of last year’s open house program demonstrated the strong interest in home and property ownership in Troy, and we are pleased to offer the public another opportunity to explore available properties for sale in our community.”

City staff will be onsite at all locations during the event to provide public access to the properties. Attendees are asked to bring a flashlight and wear appropriate footwear. Open-toed shoes or sandals are prohibited. The foreclosed properties open house schedule is as follows:
