The 21,000 question.
If is VERY difficult to find out who to speak with regarding a bank owned property until its auctioned and then becomes an REO. When it becomes an REO the bank assigns a realtor to market and sell the property.
If its an REO it will at some point be sold and you will see a sign go up but VERY rarely will you be able to settle in advance of a realtor being assigned. I actually dont believe its legal in NY for a bank to see a property without a realtor involved.
