Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: foreclosure

obviously you can sue the contractor immediately. You have to do so immediately, first in line gets paid.

With regard to the bank I would have to see all of the loan payments to make an intelligent decision.

If you need any other questions answered, or wish to retain the services of a lawyer, please feel free to contact me.

Re: foreclosure

If the house fire was caused by the negligence of the contractor, you may have an action based on negligence.

Unless there is a writing from the bank setting forth its obligation to check contractor's work, the obligation to the bank and the obligation to the contractor are separate. Therefore, you may not have a cause of action against the bank.
