Under New York law, which of the following is true regarding the 'redemption period' after a foreclosure judgment?

ANew York has no statutory redemption period after a foreclosure sale✓ Correct
BThe mortgagor has 1 year after the foreclosure sale to redeem the property
CThe mortgagor has 6 months after the foreclosure sale to redeem the property
DThe mortgagor may redeem only before the foreclosure judgment is entered

Explanation

New York does not have a post-sale statutory redemption period (unlike some states that allow the borrower to redeem the property after the foreclosure sale). Under New York law, the mortgagor may pay off the debt and stop the foreclosure before the sale (equity of redemption), but once the sale occurs, the right is extinguished.
