Board approves three warranty deeds to Habitat for Humanity for affordable-housing transfers
Summary
The Board adopted resolutions approving general warranty deeds that allow Habitat for Humanity of Craven County to transfer three properties to individual buyers at 2202 Hartford Ave, 2308 Aycock Ave and 2602 Aycock Ave, releasing city reversion rights tied to prior conveyances.
The New Bern Board of Aldermen on Dec. 9 approved resolutions authorizing general warranty deeds for three properties originally conveyed to Habitat for Humanity of Craven County for affordable housing. City staff said the city approved the original conveyance in 2019 and that Habitat intends to transfer ownership to individual buyers; executing warranty deeds will release the city’s retention rights under the prior transfer-and-reversion agreements.
The properties named in the motion were 2202 Hartford Avenue, 2308 Aycock Avenue and 2602 Aycock Avenue. City staff described the deeds as administrative steps needed so Habitat can finalize sales to buyers; a motion to adopt the resolutions was made, seconded and passed by roll-call vote. No modifications to affordable-housing covenants were recorded in the discussion, and no public comment objecting to the transfers was entered into the record.
The board’s action removes the city’s reversion interest tied to the earlier conveyances to Habitat. City staff indicated they will record the deeds and proceed with usual closing steps once Habitat completes buyer transfers. The board did not attach additional conditions or reserve further oversight in the meeting record.
