The newest commercial mortgage-backed securities loans to become 60 or more days delinquent in New York City, based on data from analytics firm Trepp through Dec. 1 and research by The Real Deal:

Food Emporium, 250 West 90th Street, Manhattan
This is the fifth time in the past year that the struggling grocery chain, owned by the A&P but reportedly up for sale, has been late on payments for its $16.6 million loan balance at the 20,000-square-foot Upper West Side space. Special servicer LNR wrote in its latest comments on the loan that “counsel has been retained,” which, according to Trepp analyst Paul Mancuso, “may indicate that they are working toward a loan resolution [or] workout.” The A&P didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Boerum Place Apartments, 129 Boerum Place, Brooklyn
This rental building in Cobble Hill, known as the Trolley House, was briefly on the market for $24 million in 2007 as part of a $49 million portfolio of apartments in the neighborhood, but city property records show that a sale never materialized. Its current owner is still Boerum Place Properties, led by Brooklyn investor Frank DeFalco. The loan balance is $7.78 million, according to Trepp, and is classified as non-performing beyond maturity. DeFalco was not immediately available for comment.


The following CMBS loans backed by New York City properties had been previously classified as “severely distressed” by Trepp but were no longer 60 or more days delinquent as of Dec. 1:
