New Brunswick is the seat of Middlesex County and the city where every contested Middlesex foreclosure is heard. It is home to Rutgers University, Johnson & Johnson's headquarters, and major hospitals, which makes it one of the strongest rental markets in the state, and a majority of residents are Hispanic or Latino. David Chapman represents New Brunswick homeowners in the Chancery Division on Paterson Street and with their lenders, in English or Spanish.
Local knowledge that matters
The Middlesex County Courthouse is at 56 Paterson Street in downtown New Brunswick, and the vicinage maintains a dedicated foreclosure line at (732) 645-4300 ext. 88372. The Middlesex County Sheriff publishes the sale schedule on the county's foreclosure page and on the statewide listing. Because posted dates and locations change, David confirms each client's sale date with the sheriff's office.
Most New Brunswick households rent, and many houses near the Rutgers campus and the hospitals are owned as rentals or as a home with rented rooms or units. Whether the owner lives in the property decides a great deal. The court's free mediation program is open only to owner-occupants, who must request it within 60 days of service, while a pure rental is still eligible for a modification, a short sale, or a deed in lieu.
Steady rental demand is an asset in a foreclosure case. Documented rent supports a modification application, and a property that rents easily is one a lender would rather keep performing than take to auction. New Jersey law entitles the homeowner to two adjournments of the sheriff's sale, and the court may grant more for cause.
