After nearly four years, the city’s lien sale is on. The sale was slated for May 20, but the Adams administration agreed to delay it to June 3. As of Monday evening, the administration had made no announcement about delaying the sale again. Properties wind up in the lien sale when they have long-overdue property taxes and/or water and sewer bills.
