Sales Objectives:
In the sale of City-owned properties, the City of Poughkeepsie is focusing on community development, commitment and owner-occupancy. To accomplish these goals, we have established the following sales guidelines:
All one and two family houses and building lots zoned for one and two family houses will be sold only to owner-occupants or organizations that will rehabilitate the property for the sole purpose of selling the house to an owner-occupant. Houses that need extensive rehabilitation will not be offered directly to an owner-occupant unless the prospective purchaser has previous experience and financial capacity to undertake the work.
Multi-family and commercial buildings will be sold to investor/developers who possess some combination of the following: a demonstrated history of community involvement; a record of quality real estate development; a record of good property management; capacity to undertake and complete the project in the stated time frame; and proof of financial capacity to perform; good credit history; and a clean record with the City of Poughkeepsie.
When there are properties and/or desired uses that do not fit the sales guidelines above, development plans will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
