CITY ‘LIENS’ ON BILL DODGERS

Nearly 25,000 homeowners will be getting notices from the city threatening liens on their properties unless they pay their water and property-tax bills within three months, officials said yesterday.

They owe a total of $469.8 million.

“Every property that appears on the lien-sale list is eligible for participation in the Payment Incentive Program, which offers deep discounts on overdue water and sewer charges,” said Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Emily Lloyd.
