State Senator Lea Webb, who represents Tompkins, Cortland, and much of Broome County, is facing foreclosure on her Binghamton-area home, according to recent court documents.
The Ithaca Voice reports attorneys for PHH Mortgage Corporation, a New Jersey-based lender, filed a civil suit against Webb in federal district court on October 22 over missed mortgage payments. Court filings indicate that as of June 2025, Webb was in default for $7,760, roughly equivalent to three months of payments.
Webb purchased the four-bedroom home in Johnson City last December for $380,000, according to county records. The property is listed on Broome County tax rolls as her primary residence, with Webb as the sole owner.
In a statement to The Ithaca Voice, Webb acknowledged that she and her family have faced financial difficulties in recent months, which affected their ability to make mortgage payments.
“We all recognize that the affordability crisis is real and affects far too many working families,” Webb said. “I am actively working on the matter, and it is in the process of being resolved.”
The case remains pending in federal court.
