Recently, the City of New York suffered devastating effects to its citizens and property from Hurricane Sandy. Lives and homes were lost and people continue to struggle to try to pick up the pieces and begin the rebuilding process.
The New York fine art market did not escape Hurricane Sandy’s destructive force. Many galleries across the city in general and in Chelsea in particular were damaged from flood waters encroaching onto their premises. For many galleries that were inadequately insured or capitalized, the effects of Hurricane Sandy will complicate their operations and collectors who work with the affected galleries should be mindful of the implications of the storm on their ongoing activities with said galleries.

In order to speed up the process of negotiating with lenders on properties “underwater”, the US Treasury has imposed 10-day limit on lenders to approve or deny “short sales” of real estate. Program must be implemented by lenders no later than April 2010. Additionally, Treasury is offering financial incentives to lenders, servicers and investors as well as relocation credits to borrowers. However, an aggregate cap of $3000 in short sale proceeds to subordinate lienholders has created contention among industry insiders.
