I live in NYC but own an empty lot at The Glen in Tamiment, PA. I no longer want the property and see that lots are not selling. What are my options to get rid of the property? What happens if I stop paying taxes, maintenance and utilities? How will this affect me?

The unpaid taxes will be a lien on the property. In addition, the association and most municipalties will file lawsuits against you at some point. If a judgment is entered on those lawsuits, the creditors can seek to collect them against you and your personal assets. They can garnish your bank account if you use a bank that has branches in Pennsylvania. They can file the judgments in NY and collect on your non-Pennsylvania assets as well.
