Properties with unpaid taxes are included in NYC's annual tax lien sale. Check DOF records or RegWatch.
Unpaid ECB fines become judgment liens. These attach to the property, not the owner.
ACRIS records all mortgages, UCC filings, and lis pendens.
RegWatch checks all lien sources simultaneously and provides a lien risk score.
Liens are one of the most common causes of closing delays. RegWatch's lien calculator estimates total exposure including accrued interest and penalties.
