N.Y. Public Lands Law § 37-a: Resale of lands

§ 37-a. Resale of lands. The commissioner of general services,

whenever he resells any such lot, shall include in the amount for which

such lot is offered for sale, the sum unpaid at the time of such sale

for principal and interest on the purchase-moneys thereof, the amount

due on the books in the comptroller's office for taxes and the interest

and charges thereon and the costs of such sale. If the total amount of

such charges be not bid therefor, he shall purchase the same for the

state at such amount. If on any such sale, the commissioner becomes the

purchaser in behalf of the state, in case such lands are not within the

forest preserve, the commissioner shall direct, whether the land

purchased be offered for sale by him at the price for which it was

purchased, or a new appraisement made thereof under his direction. He

may sell such lots to any person applying to purchase the same, for the

amount at which the same was purchased for the state, on the like terms

and conditions as he is authorized to sell the unappropriated state

lands. If the commissioner directs a new appraisal of such lands, the

commissioner may sell the same as prescribed in this section for the

prices at which the lots are respectively appraised.
