New York foreclosure framework

How Foreclosure Works in New York

New York is a judicial foreclosure state. This means the lender must file a lawsuit and obtain a court judgment before the property can be sold at a public auction. Homeowners across Oswego County benefit from key protections built into the New York process.

Judicial Foreclosure in New York

NY foreclosure begins when the lender files a foreclosure lawsuit after a default. The homeowner is formally served with a summons and complaint and has a limited window to respond to the court.

1

90-Day Pre-Foreclosure Notice

By law, homeowners receive a pre-foreclosure notice before most residential foreclosure actions are filed, alerting them to options and the importance of acting early.

2

Summons & Complaint

The homeowner is served with the foreclosure lawsuit and must respond. A timely answer preserves defenses and options before the court.

3

Mandatory Settlement Conference

For most home loans, the court schedules a settlement conference where the homeowner and lender can work toward loss mitigation and alternatives.

A Step-by-Step New York Foreclosure Timeline

  1. Step 1 — Missed payments & default. The loan is declared in default after missed payments. Loss mitigation can often begin here, before any court filing.
  2. Step 2 — 90-day pre-foreclosure notice. Homeowners are notified of the upcoming foreclosure action and their options.
  3. Step 3 — Lawsuit filed; summons served. The foreclosure complaint is filed with the county court and served. The response deadline is critical.
  4. Step 4 — Mandatory settlement conference. The court holds a conference to explore loan modification and other resolutions.
  5. Step 5 — Judgment & sale. If unresolved, the court issues a judgment and the property is scheduled for public auction.
