The thesis · why it matters
A record nobody reads — until it costs them.
Every building in New York keeps a record. Permits pulled and left to expire. Violations written and quietly contested. Deeds, liens, emissions, inspections — a paper trail scattered across a dozen agencies that almost nobody reads until the day it costs them. RegWatch binds that trail to a single address and watches it for you, so the record surfaces before the problem does. No dashboards to babysit, no filings to chase. One search, every source, refreshed nightly — the whole history of a building, the moment you need it.

Two watches, one dashboard: what the city files — permits, violations, sales — and what the rules demand — changes, filing deadlines. Save any building free; Pro adds email, checked daily: urgent items the morning we find them, the rest in a weekly summary, plus filing-deadline reminders and newly adopted fire-safety, housing-maintenance, building-code, energy and property-tax rules for owners (at most one rule email every 30 days; proposed rules stay in the app).
The Compliance Score
A credit score for NYC buildings.
Every building scored 0–100 from its public record. Open violations, agency balances, LL 97 exposure, and liens each take their bite — so the number moves when the record does. Free, shareable, and embeddable on your own site.

Plus every data tab and unlimited AI chat.

Straight answers
Common questions.
Is RegWatch free to use?
Yes. Searching and reading property records is free, no account needed — 10.9M+ addresses across NY, NJ & CT. A free account adds a watch on one building — every new violation, permit, rule change, or filing deadline lands as an alert in your dashboard, and you can move that watch once a calendar month.
What does Pro add?
Pro ($15/mo) puts a daily watch on your building: an email the morning we find an urgent violation, stop-work order, or lien, with other new activity like permits in a weekly summary; a reminder before a filing deadline that applies to it; and an email when a newly adopted regulation puts a fire-safety, housing-maintenance, building-code, energy or property-tax obligation on its owner (at most one every 30 days; proposed rules show as in-app alerts). Plus every data tab unlocked, one PDF report a month, and unlimited AI chat.
Do one-time reports include monitoring?
Not email monitoring. The $15 Full Analysis report is rebuilt from the latest public records each time you open or download it, with every section cited and timestamped. Your purchase email includes the PDF when it can be attached (otherwise a download link), and an attached PDF keeps the records as of that day. Buying also adds the building to your dashboard with free in-app alerts. Daily monitoring with email alerts comes with a subscription.
Where does the data come from?
Official government sources — NYC DOB, HPD, ACRIS, ECB, DOF, plus state and federal databases — 250+ sources in all, refreshed nightly. Every data point carries its source and timestamp so you can verify anything.
What areas do you cover?
New York City (all 5 boroughs), Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange & Dutchess counties in NY, all 21 NJ counties, and all 8 CT counties. NYC runs the full compliance stack — violations, permits, title, tax, emissions. NJ, CT, and the NY suburbs carry recorded sales where available, plus assessment & tax; mortgage and lien records are NYC-only.
How is this different from PropertyShark or CoStar?
PropertyShark ($150+/mo) sells raw data; CoStar ($400+/mo) is built for institutional players. RegWatch is the compliance watch: most of the public record free to read, and a daily-checked watch on your own building from $15/mo.
What is the Compliance Score?
A free 0–100 score for NYC buildings, computed from the public record — violations, permits, liens, deadlines. Every building has a public score page you can share or embed on your own site.
